World smallest chip!

as day passes. Hitachi has been working on technology such as increasing communication distance and decreasing antenna size, whilst maintaining those merits, to enable a broader range of applications for the µ-Chip. and they managed to do that!



this is the world's smallest chip! and for the record smallest and thinnest 0.15 x 0.15 mm, 7.5µm thick. it has advantage of the merits of compactness, high authenticity and contactless communication, and combining it with Internet technology, the µ-Chip may be utilized in a broad range of applications such as security, transportation, amusement, traceability and logistics.

one of the features is that this thin chip achieved through application of SOI technology.
this was achieved by complete removal of the silicon layer on the reverse side of the SOI substrate on which the circuit is fabricated.

that's all for now! :)
