Looking back at some of my old decaps compared to one I did recently. Amazing what a difference 15 years of practice makes lol.

The etch is so much more surgical now (and I can preserve copper bond wires which was a pipe dream before - although to be fair back then copper wires were not in common use)

The clipped pin on the recent sample is intentional, you'll find out why in a few weeks

@azonenberg coming from laser land, the innards of these packages look weird as hell, like what do you mean everything that’s not the die or a wirebond is just an opaque solid??? And there’s no fiber or window?

@psistarpsiii usually you're trying *not* to have photoelectric effect going on :)
