Electron microscope image of a chip

Caption

This picture is composed of 4,225 scanning electron microscope images. It shows a microchip based on 65-nanometre technology. This means that the smallest structure on the chip that can be reliably produced measures 65 nanometres. The section highlighted in orange contains about 571,000 standard cells in which the researchers were looking for manipulations.
