Then you will need a special wire cutter. Not wirecutter - a wire cutter, that is a machine with a thin wire that cuts wafer into chips and minimizes dust. After that, you need an assembly machine ...

The aptly monikered Redditor, AVX512-VNNI, says the wafer, which appears ... hyper-complex lithography machines that etch the patterns onto the wafer that are then cut up into chips.
