DIY RAM Breakthrough: Micron-Scale Cells Built in a Garden Shed
TL;DR Summary
A YouTuber named Dr Semiconductor fabricates and demonstrates functioning micron-scale RAM cells in his garden shed, detailing the fabrication steps (oxide deposition, photolithography, etching, thin-film deposition) and explaining RAM’s volatile, refresh-required nature; it’s a proof-of-concept, not a full memory upgrade, with plans to stitch cells together and connect them to a PC in future work.
