Known forHomemade microchip fabrication

Sam Zeloof (born 1999 or 2000) is an American autodidact who, at the age of 17, constructed a home microchip fabrication facility in his garage.[1] In 2018, he produced the first homebrew lithographically fabricated microchip, the Zeloof Z1,[2] a PMOS dual differential amplifier chip.[3] In 2021, he achieved a transistor count of 100 with the creation of the Zeloof Z2, a transistor array.[4][5][6][7] His work takes inspiration from Jeri Ellsworth's 'Cooking with Jeri' which demonstrates a homebrew transistor and logic gate fabrication process.[8]
