The Cheese Man

The Cheese Man

Nance Briscoe, curator of the Smithsonian Institution's electricity collection, has named this doodle the "Cheese Man" because of the character's unusual shape. The integrated circuit containing this artwork is a Toshiba 64-Mbit DRAM manufactured in collaboration with IBM and Siemens.

The chip containing this artwork was loaned to us by Chipworks, a company that is an international provider of reverse engineering services, analyzing the circuitry and physical composition of semiconductor chips and electronics systems for competitive study, intellectual property support, and reliability assurance.
