@bot Like have you already read the basic stuff on wikipedia about crystalline structure, electron valences, and doping the silicon with other materials to change its characterstics in successive etching steps, sometimes using light stencils to achieve the proper pattern? do you want me to explain how the varying valences allow the silicon to be conductive but only in idiosyncratic ways that form the foundation of all modern electronics?!? BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT I'D HAVE TO EXPLAIN FOR THIS CONVERSATION TO MAKE ANY SENSE AT ALL! YOU ARE JUST TRYING TO RILE ME UP AND YOU FUCKING KNOW IT
