| - | For questions/ | ||
| - | |||
| - | Wish list: | ||
| - | ^ Item ^ Needed/ | ||
| - | | Sponsor a chip image! | 20-150 | Moar data! | Non-commercial only, you provide IC. Usually top metal as delayering requires some to a lot more work | | ||
| - | | Keep the lights on | 75/year | Prevent canceling website when I need beer money | Free hosting offers are appreciated but will be politely turned down | | ||
| - | | Zerene stacker basic | 89 | Focus stacking for better images | Sorry panotools but it wins no-contest | | ||
| - | | Colloidial silica | 100 | Better polishing | Old batch is old/dirty and getting low on it | | ||
| - | | Real SSL cert | 200/year | Makes your browser happy | Tried StartSSL but they didn't get back to me | | ||
| - | | SEM filaments | 200/box | Required for SEM imaging | Support your or another project | | ||
| - | | Second (quality) CNC microscope operational | 500 | Increased throughput | See below | | ||
| - | | Mitutoyo Plan Apo 50x objective | 800? | Better images, relieves imaging constraints | Assuming one pops up on eBay. Olympus 50x ULWD clearance issues | | ||
| - | | Confocal microscope | 2,000 | Much easier automated polygon capture | Typical industrial auction price | | ||
| - | | Better lapping machine | 2,000 | Faster/ | ||
| - | | Gold sponsor | 1000 | Because you love me? Selfish advertising? | ||
| - | |||
| - | The server isn't free, the equipment isn't, and my time is limited. | ||
| - | |||
| - | If you have some interesting chips I'd probably take them to image as well. Be warned though I have quite a stockpile (ie backlog) of chips already but I'd like to help others out to spread interest. | ||

| - | |||
| - | ====== Sponsoring a chip ====== | ||
| - | |||
| - | Consumables used for typical decap + top metal image: | ||
| - | * Dremel wheel | ||
| - | * Acid (typically H2SO4 or WFNA) | ||
| - | * Solder paste | ||
| - | * Filtered canned air | ||
| - | * Acetone | ||
| - | * IPA | ||
| - | * Deionized water | ||
| - | * Paper towels | ||
| - | * Gloves | ||
| - | * Electricty | ||
| - | * Stuff ocassionally breaks! (eg glassware) | ||
| - | |||
| - | Time invested into every chip: | ||
| - | * Trim package | ||
| - | * Remove paddle | ||
| - | * Remoe epoxy | ||
| - | * Remove bond wires | ||
| - | * Clean | ||
| - | * Level for imaging | ||
| - | * Image | ||
| - | * Find image features | ||
| - | * Optimize image alignment | ||
| - | * Stitch images | ||
| - | * Upload images | ||
| - | |||
| - | None of these are bad by itself but add up. The equipment also ain't cheap and would love it if someone could help me offset the costs. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Delayering ranges from dangerous to very time consuming. | ||
| - | |||
| - | SEM imaging will most likely require a fee since there are so many consumables involved | ||
| - | |||

| - | ====== Second microscope ====== | ||
| - | |||
| - | Would not have all the accessories like the current one has or use Apo objectives but would be pretty darn close if I got wishlist below | ||
| - | |||
| - | Have: | ||
| - | * Heavy duty motorized XY stage w/ rotary encoders + glass linear encoders | ||
| - | * Motor controllers | ||
| - | * Spare high quality microscope base for XY stage | ||
| - | * BH2-BHMJ column | ||
| - | * Most of a BH2-UMA illuminator | ||
| - | * Unused NeoSPlan objectives | ||
| - | * Extra STM32 to turn into indexer | ||
| - | * Microscope cameras but would require writing more Linux drivers | ||
| - | * Laptop | ||
| - | * Lamphouse power supply | ||
| - | * Leveling mechanism: use that large newport one | ||
| - | |||
| - | Need: | ||
| - | * BH2-UMA missing BH2-UCLW (~$100) + BH2-LH50A (~$200) | ||
| - | * A lower quality illuminator would discourage its use | ||
| - | * MU800 camera ($210) | ||
| - | * A table in the garage ($50? free on craigslist? | ||
| - | * Machine BHMJ-XY stage base adapter piece ($50) | ||
| - | * Misc pieces like cables, breakout boards, etc ($50) | ||
