Hmm... I must remember to try and find a silicon wafer on Ebay... Shame
there never seem to be any on Ebay UK...
Let's see... If I put the wafer under a microscope and get some photos, I
should be able to ID the chip. Then put it in a picture frame complete with
label... Hmm...
I'd love to track down one of the East German wafers that were mentioned on
The Silicon Zoo (www.micro.magnet.fsu.edu/creatures) - they had some that
they extracted a picture of a fox from. With a decent scope and a
half-decent digicam (either my Oly or one of the Sony Mavica cameras I have
access to) I should be able to get some pretty decent pictures. Picture
this - a wafer with all the silicon "doodles" or "creatures" printed off
underneath, complete with a "This die contains..." label... Hmm...

Later.
