hello
I have to do a report on how components are made. this is the brief
Assignment Brief:
The design and manufacture of electronic components has evolved from simple leaded components to integrated circuits and microprocessors, with new packages being released to the market on a monthly basis. With every leap forward in miniaturisation they must be consequences in performance. Research the current and future trends in component designs.
Method (tasks):
Research and compile a report to cover the following topics
Assessment Evidence:
Produce and engineering report containing as a minimum the following sections, (3000 approx. word count for this assignment ) :
Front Cover ( with title and your name )
Table of contents
Introduction
Main body
Technical conclusion
Personal evaluation
Bibliography (Harvard style)
Comments:
Unit No. & Title UNIT 73: PRINCIPLES OF ELECTRONIC PRODUCT MANUFACTURE
Assignment Title: Design, Manufacture and Testing of electronic components
Assessment Criteria / Outcomes:
LO1 Understand the production
and packaging of solid-state
electronic devices
1.1 describe the production of solid-state devices common
to the electronics industry
1.2 evaluate the different types of device packaging
available
LO2 Understand electronic
component design
parameters
2.1 explain the effects of altering given design rules on
microelectronic devices
2.2 explain failure modes and mechanisms for a range of microelectronic devices
the part im struggling with is finding web sites that explain how components are made. I have searched using the following words, manufacture, how, made, construction, build, process, procedure, electronics, components.
nothing came back but basic descriptions of how they work.
does anyone know of web sites that explain how components are made. please
thanks

With every leap forward in miniaturisation they must be consequences in performance. Research the current and future trends in component designs.
Method (tasks):
Research and compile a report to cover the following topics
- Describe the process of manufacturing standard electronic components , such as capacitors, diodes, transistors and resistors
- Describe the process of manufacturing Integrated Circuits.
- Evaluate the applications of leaded and surface mount Packages, including physical characteristics, production requirements, applications, motivators, economics of production and market requirements
- Describe factors limiting switching speed of modern semiconductors, including smallest obtainable transistor size and minimum photoresist width
- Describe design changes that can be made to enhance overall switching speed and the effects on other performance characteristics of making these changes, such as effects on chip and wafer sizes.
- Consider and describe changes which are predicted to appear in the near future (5 years), include the potential impact of these developments
