Labour- Qualified graduates in engineering and science
Electricity- Power source
Clean Rooms- where the microchip manufacturing takes place
Air Purification systems- to eliminate dust in the clean rooms and clean the air
Capital- Financial investment in the new techniques to stay ahead of the competition
A clean room

5. Processes of Intel
In the clean rooms workers wear clothing to prevent dust from body and clothes from reaching the silicon wafers 1
Microchips are made from the wafers this includes about 300 manufacturing steps 2
A large number of switches are created on the microchips to test if the microchips work and then shipped abroad 3
