laser decapping process, where a laser removes the protective coating of an integrated circuit (IC) chip for analysis and repair 📹 lightspeedlaserengraving

Oooooo magic 🪄 🌎

Ummmm when do you get to the chip? That's just the leads. - me, chip engr for decades.

That’s insanely precise — the fact that a laser can strip a chip’s protective layer without damaging it is mind-blowing 👌

This is how they were stealing Western technology in the Soviet Union. Layer-by-layer slicing and photographing of an IC and then replicating it. It worked in many cases. BTW the factory where this process was running around the clock was located in North Eastern Ukraine.

Laser decapping peels back the IC’s armor with precision, exposing its secrets for analysis and repair.

Mesmerizing

Laser Don't get your fingers cut

After watching this Aliens do exist 😂😂
