How to Open a Microchip and what’s inside?

Micron MT4C1024 — 1 mebibit (220 bit) dynamic ram.
Widely used in 286 and 386-era computers, early 90’s.

Die size – 8662×3969µm.

 

AMD Palce16V8h GAL is an 32×64 array of AND elements.
GAL(Generic array logic) microchips are FPGA and CPLD grandfathers.

Die size – 2434×2079µm, 1µm technology.
