Apparently it IS possible to make IC’s at home, obviously nothing approaching 5nm transistor gates and therefore the equivalent of lego blocks to precision machined parts… but anyways:
This stuff is half way up my professional alley and when I read it I had to think about the posts on hackaday the last 2 years which kind of document this new homebrew scene made of madmen.
I know absolutely nothing beyond the lego-brick level of building and watercooling machines. No EE chops whatsoever… but this stuff is so interesting to me and maybe one day, cost and space no object, having a palatial garage or workshop to muck around in… Just knowing it’s possible really is the half of it.

I was thinking about making some miniature tubes, for audio purposes of course.
