19:18 <pie_> "A friend worked for a company that made IC's. Every few months, their yields would go down to about zero. Analysis of the failures showed all sorts of organic material was introduced in the process, but they couldn't figure out where. One evening, someone was working late and came into the lab. There he found the maintainence crew cooking pizza in the chip curing ovens! "

19:20 <mjgardes> yum.

19:26 <pie_> would those pizzas have been safe to eat?

19:38 <Sync> highly unlikely that that happened, there are no real ovens that are large enough to make pizza with

19:38 <Sync> resists are cured on a plate

19:38 <Sync> and for everything else you have very high temps

19:39 <Sync> there is a possibility that they were using batch ovens to dry racks after wet chemistry but I never heard about such a thing

19:41 <pie_> inb4 it happens with the 400mm technology (obv would never happen in real life)

19:41 <pie_> hah. that would be funny. lets open an automated pizza shop in silicon valley

19:41 <pie_> with manufacturing hardware.

19:44 <Sync> should be easy

19:50 <pie_> woah...panic is spelled panic not panick, but panicking is not spelled panicing?

19:53 <superkuh> English is a magical language.

19:55 <pie_> its effectively a native language for me but i never noticed this

19:55 <pie_> i dont remember anything else like that bothering me yet

19:55 <pie_> thats like spelling magic as magick

21:41 <mjgardes> I have ovens at work that are large enough to make pizzas in

21:42 <mjgardes> deep dish is out of the question though

21:42 <mjgardes> and they would significantly shorten your lifespan with all the nasty shit we use in those ovens

21:51 <pie_> mjgardes: i expected as much :P

21:52 <pie_> though "maintenance workers" and semiconductor manufacturing doesnt feel like it would imply untrained maintenance workers :/

21:52 <pie_> but maybe this was the 90s or something :P
