In Abu Dhabi, the Museum for the Creation of Silicon Semiconductor Device Technologies at the Sheikh Khalifa University of Science, Technology and Research (KUSTAR) was opened. The opening ceremony of the new museum located on the campus was attended by Sheikh Hamid bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the head of the Office of the Crown Prince (Sofa) Administration of Abu Dhabi and the Deputy Chairman of the Board of Trustees of KUSTAR.
The Silicon Semiconductor Device Technology Museum was created in partnership with Intel Corporation, a US corporation. Its visitors will be able to discover the complex world and the fascinating process of creating silicon integrated circuits (ICs). He will demonstrate the "degeneration" of sand into silicon crystals. In addition, students and museum visitors will learn a lot about the history of microprocessors, the design and manufacture of computer microcircuits, factories specializing in the manufacture of microcircuits, and much more.
With the help of exhibitions prepared by Intel, everyone will have the opportunity to "plunge" into the world of microcomputer processors and understand what happens when millions of electronic components are assembled in a 0.6 cm silicon square and time is measured in billionths of a second.
At exhibitions at the Museum, including 'Binary Code', 'Binary Rain' and 'Get Digitized', you will learn about the way data is presented in the form of a combination of two characters, denoted by the numbers 0 and 1, and the latest in the technology of manufacturing digital ICs, personal computers and special effects. Another interesting object of the Museum is the 'Intel Fab', an exhibition that provides a unique opportunity to learn about how work is being done at Intel factories, equipped with cutting-edge technological innovations and 300-millimeter equipment manufacturing microcircuits.
Visitors will learn about Moore's Law and its use in the manufacture of a new generation of microprocessors.
