microchip design printer

[[email protected]]

I was just wondering if it is possible to make a printer similar to an
inkjet that prints microchip designs. It could print three types of
pixels using three materials:

conductive material - i.e. copper
n-type material - i.e. silicon crystal doped with phosphorus
p-type material - i.e. silicon crystal doped with boron

A transistor would simply be an n pixel, p pixel, and n pixel adjacent
to one another. Or, it could be a p pixel, n pixel, and p pixel
adjacent to one another.

Anyone know what the major issues are with making something like this?
It is probably difficult to make some of those materials function as
ink, but it might be possible.

Keep dreaming.

Well, if you slap an N-blot next to a P-blot, you won't get a diode. There
is this tacky requisite of continuity of the crystal structure.

I saw an article the other day where some company in england is working on
something like this. They are making plastic semiconductor like microchips
and stuff. The scale length is not even close to those of real
semiconductors but it something like what you rtalking about(don't remember
the details)

For a fucking genius you sure do get contradicted a lot. Why the hell are
you so fucking smart? You know, atleast when you make such godly statements
as the above you could atleast back it up with some facts on why its that
way so the rest of us can be enlightened a little.

The fact is Michael you are not as smart as you think you are and you should
stop acting like you know everything. If you really want to take the time
out to answer someone's question then you need to leave your BS at the door.

The problem I have is with people like you is that you think that if you
believe it can't work then IT MUST NOT WORK!!! This is the god mentality
that so many of you have and it only gets in the way of progress.

As far as I'm concerned, at the moment your a fucking idiot with a huge ego.
Maybe next time you post some of your crap you'll think twice about wether
its really fact or not.

Not sure if I replied or not(was replying but not sure wher ethe message
went). Anyways, I found the link to an article that I saw a while back:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/6227455.stm

While its not exactly what your talking about its very close. Not sure how
much progress they have made but its very close to what your asking.
Ofcourse it could just be another one of those companies claiming the
impossible but I think its a feesible idea. Not very complicated but just a
few technical hurdles to get over. (ofcourse its probably never going to
replace real silicon chips but would be pretty cool for the hobbiest)

Also, You might want to ignore people like Michael as they have this god
complex.

While you have a "Dammed complex"?

The fact is, you don't know shit. I have heard about the
experimental printing process, and how poorly it performs. As far as
BS, How do you get out of your door? The EPA is about to declare your
head a super fund site.

The problem I have is with people like you is that you think that if you
believe it can't work then IT MUST NOT WORK!!! This is the god mentality
that so many of you have and it only gets in the way of progress.

The problem you have with people like me is that we don't kiss your
ignorant ass. Some of us actually DO KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE REAL
WORLD. As the old constipated mathematician joke goes, all you can do
is work it out with a pencil.

As far as I'm concerned, at the moment your a fucking idiot with a huge ego.
Maybe next time you post some of your crap you'll think twice about wether
its really fact or not.

When your designs are put in orbit by NASA, let me know. My work is
aboard the International Space Station, and is used to track EVERY NASA
mission from launch, to landing. Until then you're just a whining
little wanabe.

"wether"? Are into golden showers, or are you just an illiterate jerk.
Maybe the next time you go on another ignorant second grade rant, you
will check your spelling.
