How is a microprocessor made?

I've sometimes thought about a microscopic CPU collection,
sacrificing old chips and mounting them on microscope slides.

I've got a few old (circa 1984) samples of four-inch wafers
from HP. I'd like to get a few more. Does anyone know of a way
to get today's larger wafers, or rejected dies? Intel might
be putting them in keychains, but I'd like some bare.
