SILICON FLEX: HOW A $XXX WAFER BECOMES A $100K TECH TROPHY

Start with glorified sand. Refine it, grow a crystal the size of a baseball bat, then laser-slice it into fragile wafers thinner than your patience on Monday morning.

These 300mm wafers cost $XXX each - until they're packed with CPUs. Then they're suddenly worth $XXXXXXX. Yes, 10x more valuable than gold. Literally.

After a round of surgery, flipping, and thermal pampering, it’s boxed, bragged about, and sold to power your TikTok scrolls and Chrome tab hoarding.
