A 8 inch 200mm silicon wafer showing rainbow colors by refracting the light through its billions of transistors. The art an science to make this single piece of technology is almost unimaginable! #art #science #technology

This is technology and art. A Ceramic Quad Flat Package - Cerquad, constructed of a single pressed layer of 92% Alumina ceramic. The leads are 99.9999% gold plated. It is used for high reliability space applications as an example. It is reminiscent of art deco.

This is a close-up of a 12 inch (300mm) silicon wafer. It is state of the art, which is currently being used to produce all high end chips for AI and smartphones. Cost per wafer is around $19,000 in working condition. #AI #computer #chip #IC #smartphone

This is another very colorful 8 inch wafer. Just imagine each of the squares is a computer chip which runs our life’s. Making the chips is part art and engineering and they are beautiful as well.

This type of ceramic package which is called a Cerquad (CERamic QUADpack) has been used in space and other challenging environments. The coding on the leads is 99.9999 pure gold. This is part of our evolution frames.
