-Observation 11.6. Understanding layouts and cross sections of semiconductor devices does not require all of the physics and manufacturing details. To gain a fairly useful — though merely qualitative — appreciation, it suffices to differentiate among
-  * (conductive) metals,
-  * (conductive) polysilicon,
-  * strongly n- and p-doped semiconductor materials,
-  * weakly n- and p- doped semiconductor materials, and
-  * (nonconductive) dielectrics.

-Thus this wiki does not attempt to deal with detailed device physics, floorplanning algorithms, etc. Rather, it aims to provide a high level quantitative feel of how ICs are built so that they can be analysed for one reason or another. Information here is not aimed to be sufficient to actually design an IC but may give a good feel of what goes into it.

Just send me a brief message telling me your interest in IC RE and what you think you might be able to contribute if you are given access. There are 2 or 3 people contributing right now and I'd like that to grow. Contact me directly at JohnDMcMaster <at> gmail.com
 ====== News ======
+===== 01/04/2015 =====
+Real SSL cert installed.  Also since SSL is now "officially" supported, I've fixed the issue causing maps to not work in https
+===== 05/27/2014 =====
+Tried to get a StartSSL cert but they didn't get back to me :(
+===== 11/20/2013 =====
+Wiki software upgraded, shout if anything looks broken
+===== 04/05/2013 =====
+Since I've gotten enough comments about it...yes I know the SSL cert isn't signed correctly in addition to it being self signed.  I didn't realize at the time that you couldn't sign for both *.siliconpr0n.org and siliconpr0n.org.  Since its self signed and hadn't yet decided if wwww.siliconpr0n.org or siliconpr0n.org was official address I decided I just didn't care enough.  Want it fixed?  Donate $200 / year to get me a signed certificate.  That's way more than the web hosting costs.
+===== 01/21/2013 =====
+Server upgraded at its 1 year anniversary.  Latency and such should be a little better.  If you didn't notice that, storage is double double double what it was before so look forward to more pr0n!
