The first integrated circuit masks were hand made, then optically reduced. The wafers were then processed much as they are today using these reduced masks.

Hand made masks were used well into the 1970s. All the early microprocessors were done with hand made masks. You can even download from Intel's website now masks and schematics, all hand drawn, for their original 4004.

Why is micro-controller called as micro-controller?

It is called a microprocessor because it is the single microchip integrated circuit processor of a microcomputer. The term minicomputer was already taken and referred to small computers whose processor was built of many different microchip integrated circuits. There was never anything called a "miniprocessor" in these computers, just as there was never anything called a "mainframe processor" in the big computers.Note: Some early microprocessors were not single microchips, but were instead a family of related microchips that could be interconnected in a variety of different ways (e.g. AMD 2900 family). This served two functions:it avoided the limits of the number of transistors that could be put on a single microchip with the technology available thenproviding greater design flexibility (e.g. the same microprocessor family could be used to build microcomputers having very different word lengths depending on the requirements: 16 bit, 32 bit, 48 bit, 64 bit, etc.)You do not see this anymore, all microprocessors now are single microchip integrated circuits.

What simple machines were used to build the great wall of china?

Simple Machines allowed the builders of the Great Wall of China to build more quickly and efficiently. Machines such as levers and inclined planes allowed the amount of energy spent to do the work to be decreased. Other machines such as pulleys allowed objects to be transported up and down the wall with greater ease. Wedges were incorporated in the hammers that the Chinese used to pound the earth and all the materials of the Wall together.
