Thanks for the correction. Got a bad relation in my head. Maybe it is the ratio of explosive mass, to the amount that actually "goes missing".

... 2kg equates to 42.96 Mt, or 1 Mt =3D 21.48 gm (if Wikipedia is to be believed.)
And the other's point about the OP meaning chip manufacturing vs. the chips from machining a block of material is well taken. The equivalent "hand grenade" explosion of converting a dust mote to energy, somehow avoiding destroying the chip circuitry and its various photo processes, will still be unworkable.
Just like your 'figure it out in your head in less than a minute' crap you claimed you and your associates used to do, you should be able to make this determination within ten seconds.

That embedded : "converting dust into energy might be a little hard"
makes the rejection of the proposition pretty much a no-brainer.
Not a criticism of you John, (for once ;) a criticism of the fancied,
but not really worked out process required to render silicon fissile.

" It is easier to place most of the manufactuing process in a vacuum and eliminate the dust particles. {Hint: dust cannot float in a vacuum to land on the wafers, but drops like a rock to the floor.} "
According to my physics class in high school a perfect vacuum cannot be created and there will always be some air left over...
Concerning issue's with damage to chips by vaporization:
First create a vacuum.
Then convert any floating(?)/remaining dust particles to energy.
Then place wafers inside it and start vacuuming.
Alternatively plan:
Slowly turn dust into energy to prevent nuclear explosion ;) :)
Another crazy idea would be to use water and produce the chip in water...
Somehow purifieing water and maybe water better than air ? But I doubt it ;)
I just had another idea:
First create a vacuum as good as possible.
Then highly charge the surroundings of the vacuum with static electricity.
Hopefully this will attract all remaining floating dust particles.
Perhaps keep it like that... and start producing the chip.
Otherwise if the static charge is to be disabled, first vaporize the dust particles on the side or wipe them off ?!?
And if people would just quit answering him, I wouldn't see anything from him at all...
