I don’t think making semiconductors at home is explicitly illegal anywhere, but I doubt hobbyists can legally buy or synthesize many of the chemicals you’d need
It depends entirely on what you are trying to do. There are a few people on YT that have made chips at home. they only have a 100 ish transistors though.
No sooner than we would be able to make chips at home. Of course, it would be illegal at start, but eventually… Well, not in the nearest 2-3 decades.
Home-made chips are illegal? Where?
I mean if its an open standard, what’s stopping you?

Yeah, and no offense… Noone is gonna make wafers at home. Theres a reason a fab costs so much

Because they’re fabulous?

Not now. But it surely will be as soon as we would be able to make something useful at home.
Makes me wonder how close one can get to a modern day CPU, using an of the shelve FPGA
Very expensive and still slower than an hard coded ASIC.
Like first gen raspberry pi?
