Oh how I wish I had enough time to experiment with different slurries, suspensions, and polishing cloths... Sigh

Next up is removing the top metal layer, which if memory serves is a thick 3um one. Thread will update when that's done.

Until then, I wish you all a great Friday and the weekend too!

Capacitors seem to be purple.

Also in the frame is one chonky resistor...

The green colours seem to be of poly resistors. The setup struggles to resolve them through all the layers.
While I don't know the specifics, the device certainly has 6 functional units of the same type distributed along the 3 out of 4 edges. The top right corner houses 3 instances of a different unit, along with at least two more of a yet different one. And if memory serves, the centre was occupied by a blob of digital logic.
Die ID marking in the corner lets us know this is an MP091A0, designed in 2021. 5 metal layers, all revision 1 it seems.

Hello and welcome to this #nakeddiefriday installment.

Today's guest is an NXP chip for which I do not have the part number in memory. The chip was used as a training target for the sample preparation tutorial section by Chris Pawlowicz of TechInsights at HARRIS'26, in which I had the pleasure to participate. I have an intact sample which I plan to deprocess at home during the coming days and hopefully apply all I've learned there.

@f4grx @azonenberg It was my guess as well, ATECC608 or thereabout :)

We ported TamaGo to the Microchip LAN969x SoC.

A collaboration with Novarq to support the Tactical 1000 network switch.

Having bare metal Go on a network switch is an exciting context which opens up many development opportunities!
