How to Build a Computer 39: Epitaxy II: The Reckoning

 

I know y’all have been waiting eagerly with your wafer in the chamber, the temperature pumped down and your native oxide layer stripped off for me to finish this two-parter. Well, wait no longer!

Few countries do indignation as well as they do. http://www.foxnews.com/world/2017/12/05/russia-banned-from-2018-winter-olympic-games-in-south-korea-over-doping-scandal-ioc-announces.html Preview Open
