There's a ton of gorgeous high resolution die shots of (mostly) modern chips, all in the public domain.



These die shots are all very pretty. Are people mostly interested in these just at the pure beauty of how so many circuitry can be packed into a small space and the feat of engineering, or for some other reason?


Some hobbyists use these die shots to reverse engineer older chips, bypassing the need to decap the chips themselves. The craft is explained nicely in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHx-XUA6f9g.
