Any decap progress? ;)

How does one interpretate an image like this anyway?


Most of what you can see is wires. The little circles or dots on the wires are vias, which connect up a layer or down a layer to continue the wire on a different metal layer. Some of the large blocks may just be large chunks of metal wire. I don't see anything that strikes me as a transistor, but that may be lower stuff covered up by what we can see in the picture. It also helps to be able to turn on/off various layers to focus on different things. A static picture only lets you really see certain things. It helps to have done chip design to read this stuff. If you've done PCB design before you'll understand a lot of it as well.
