Inside a MicroChip
The theme for the Macro Monday group this monday is "How does it work inside?". So I got this picture of a microchip before it's final assembly. Here the chip is mounted in the centre and around the outside are the pins which will be connected to it by very fine wires. Then some plastic will be injection moulded around the whole thing to make it look like a chip, and the pins will then be bent into shape.
The piece of silicon in the centre is aprroximately 1cmx1cm, which gives you some idea of perspective.
Can't tell you what it is used for, top secret:-).
