The X-Ray Tech That Reveals Chip Designs

Cars That Think

The same is true—with much higher stakes—for microelectronic chips: How can engineers confirm that what’s inside has truly met the intent of the designers? How can a semiconductor design company tell whether its intellectual property was stolen? This approach is called ptychographic X-ray computed tomography (PXCT).
