Silicon Integrated Circuit Wafer: this shiny disk comes from an intermediate step in the production of electronic microcircuits and serves as a reminder of the astonishing technological achievements of semiconductor physics. The disk itself is a polished slice of lab grown nearly defect free 99.9999999% pure silicon crystal. Upon this particular disk is an array of more than 11000 rectangular integrated circuits that in the next step would be diced and placed into a pinned package for installati
