it's crasy how it is even possible to produce anything like this ! i know it's machines that makes the chips etc.. but humans has to design and create the machines ! 🙂
What's more amazing is that there are probably a handful of really hardcore people who could hand solder stuff like that with special techniques. It would be pointless I think but advanced soldering is seriously crazy. My hands start shaking at half a mm pins yet there are people who could probably do that blindfolded.
@@mistaowickkuh6249 think about the Da Vinci surgery robot. I can imagine there being a similar robot like that for micro soldering. Perhaps could be used for data recovery or maybe even in very early stages of semiconductor prototyping if manual adjustments are needed... Where I work now (jewelry) we have a laser welding machine with a microscope. Not the same, but maybe there is a workflow for that also. We have a fiber laser too haha
What you see is the large connections. The real microscopic stuff happens beneath the grey enclosure and that is the real mind blowing stuff. It isn't assembled by humans or a robot. It is etched with light sensitive material and masks behind the light source creating the shadows. Layer after layer the silicone is etched until the final tiny processor is complete. Lithography is a sci-fi tech that keeps our world running
Could you try to decap an ic while it's running. Would be fun to see up to which point it still works. It seems like the bond wires are still intact so they might work up the the point where the laser ablates the silicons surface
Videos like these prove my point again and again that the standard excuse of manufacturers for not wanting to provide schematics/boardviews of their products is utter bullsh*t. (protecting intellectual property and proprietary technology) All you need is 2 or more samples of the product and one of these fiber lasers and not caring about destroying the items in the process. Not even a day later you have all the information. internal structure of chips, trace/vias layout on each layer of the pcb, everything. Which is why it makes me angry every time I get that same answer from a manufacturer when asking for schematics/boardviews in order to make it a lot easier and quicker to repair a device.
@@a1elektro1 But the fact that the surroundings get removed while the wires and connectors stand out is really cool. Just curious what’s left under the black/gray blocks
Assuming you did this to a working SSD, would it still technically be able to work after doing this? Since you're only removing the "filler" and not destroying the contacts or chip components. Asking because it would be cool to make a build with entirely decapsulated components and recapsulating them in a clear resin.
The chips look really interesting inside. You did this to the controller chip and the memory chip. Can you also do it to the IC BIOS chip? It's the one under the memory, it's a WSOP chip that has 8 pins, can you upload the video, I'm curious to see what it looks like inside. Thanks. 😉
amazing vids but a tip: after each laser sweep clean the surface with alcohol and let it dry, then do it again. that way you get much better iridiscent images of the chip, as well as a more uniform engraving
I would say, defocus the laser to spread the heat around then drop the power settings so that it is hot enough to melt / vaporize the plastic but not the metal / silicon die. I'm going to try this one day hen I get time...
thats amazing work done by the laser i saw this laser cut the iphone back glass so can you do for the intel processor pentium and i3 and i5 and i9 processors
Are those microfilaments connecting the processors to the board made of gold? If so, can you use this method to "recycle" that gold from discarded devices?
modern AMD and intel processors are not encapsulated in plastic and usually have a metal heat spreader on top of their die all you would need to do is get a deliding tool to break the glue holding the heat spreader of to the die and you'll be able to see the exposed die with out damaging it and if you glue the heatspreader back on the cpu will still work after words you just need to make sure to put liquid metal or thermal paste in between the die and heat spreader first
I dream of a future where a recycler&builder device would exits. This aparatus would break down devices to their raw materials: Iron, Silicon, Copper, Gold, etc. This aparatus would stroe the raw resources in a powdered or conventional form to be used again. With this aparatus let's say in this year you get a GENERIC CPU X100 and in the following year GENERIC CPU X200 gets released. the difference from X200 and X100 being just the repositioning of the matter the architecture of the CPU but the X200 version being a increase in power. In this scenario you would dump The CPU X100 get your resources back with a 95% efficiency. Then to build the X200 version you just need the missing 5% that you can get either from scrapping other devices or from buying the resources from another individual or vendor. Having this device from the OEM you'd just need to buy the consumer blueprint for the X200 version of the CPU and not a whole CPU again. With this option you'd pay 10% of what the "freshly built X200" would cost. This aparatus behaving in a way like a very precise 3D printer (DISCLAIMER: I know what I wrote has holes and sounds like a raving lunatic.)

it could overheat? as the heat is now focus on one spot
They don't take special requests from morons.
Transistors are light sensitive iirc. Even if they survive the laser, they probably won’t work properly
so glad that this channel landed in my recommendations, first time seeing this decapsulation process, amazing.
This channel should have over a million subscribers!
WOW!
I love what you do!!!
it definitely shouldn't
That controller chip look like a stadium 😂Nice to see the DIMM's as well. Thank you very much.
damn, the memory looks so cool
Hey! I always wanted to see a decapped memory module. Thank you! I was kinda surprised by the size of the chip itself
I would love to see one where the traces on the die are still preserved.
aren't the traces made with the compond being removed? just remembered something like that or with a different compound as substrate
Good work! Can you do a DS3231 rtc chip decapsulation? Always wondered how it integrates an osillicator.
WARNING: "Removal Of Labels, Or Decapsulation By Laser, Voids Warranty!" 🤣

Can it still run? 👻😳 Its a weird question I know 🤣
Make a video on decapsulting PIC microcontroller ic. Thanks
Please do a super I/O chip de-capping.

Im curious to know if this still works after Laser decapsulation
OTP no more! Looks like the memory chips had two die overlapped, upside-down.
This is correct, most NAND packages will feature multiple die per package to reach a certain density.
I'm asking
Does it still work 🤔
amazing vids but a tip: after each laser sweep clean the surface with alcohol and let it dry, then do it again.

Wow, I would go for all memory chips and put it on a display.
does it work after decapsulation?
Wow, can you do a modern-ish dead gpu?
Would love to see a video showing what a shorted chip looks like inside 🤔
Good point
Is it still working after this? Yes, right?
Maybe you need to re-leveling the plate or the device you need to decapsulate a little bit...? 🤔
Can't really see the actual silicon/transistors... seems like the laser burned those out.. though the copper interconnects is nice!
How is there any wires left at all? How does the laser not eat through everything in its path?
really awesome. clean job!
What settings do you do? My bonding wires get destroyed
This might be a dumb question, but do you think it would still work? You just removed the protective covering. You should try it!
Hi! What thickness do you think does it remove in one pass on copper and in one pass on nickel? And what nm is your laser?
Is it possible to lower the temperature to protect the silicon within it?
Would love to see the lithography
I would say, defocus the laser to spread the heat around then drop the power settings so that it is hot enough to melt / vaporize the plastic but not the metal / silicon die. I'm going to try this one day hen I get time...
You wouldn't be able to see the lithography with this camera zoom
500 years ago this would have been impossible :O) Really AmAziNg... Thanks so much!
What if you did this on a live running CPU and filmed the output of the monitor?
it working after process? what is the beem speed?
if it was working, Would it still work after doing that??
Is it made of gold ?
i wonder if you could still use that or the small cable insulator is gone and touching eachother and make it not work
Did you tryed to see if its working?
that poor little section of the pcb that got blasted due to the laser not being aligned with the chip perfectly😢
The laxer completely destroyed the die, it’s completely burned off all the polysilicon
Can you do this with governmental lies?
Whats the cap made of?
thats amazing work done by the laser i saw this laser cut the iphone back glass so can you do for the intel processor pentium and i3 and i5 and i9 processors
How about getting a vice and clamping the boards into before lasering?
Amazing!!!!😊😊😊
Please more videos.
Gran trabajo, felicidades.
How much is removed per pass?
Does it keep working after this?
Very interesting ! What is the wavelength of your laser ?
1064nm

Are those microfilaments connecting the processors to the board made of gold? If so, can you use this method to "recycle" that gold from discarded devices?
Gold recycling is much easier than that, for example you can just burn a bunch of chips to ashes, then use aqua regia to dissolve the gold.
sir can you show us the laser unit , can you decapsulate chip on board
Any chance the chips will still function afterwards?
no way, here is the demo ua-cam.com/video/Z11WDFFxSO0/v-deo.html
Can you try it on a modern intel or amd processor?
I'll try to do it

This method completely wipe chip structure - most interesting part! Try to mask it...
but does it still work??

Seems to me that getting rid of chip-to-trace wires will be a big step.
can you do this to an Apple M-Series chip?
WHAT MATERIAL IS USED AS THE OUTER COVER OF THE CHIPS AND PROCESSORS?
Some kind of epoxi resin, hard plastic essentially
