Collin's Lab Notes: Exploratory IC torching
After a recent post on the topic, I decided to experiment with a bit of IC decapping by way of propane torch. My first chip roast went relatively well allowing access to the precious chip within. I imagine a more evenly distributed & thorough torching would have made the hammer unnecessary - but I was happy with it as a first try.
Now I find myself in need of better optics - anyone have any microscope recommendations?

Update:Already some very helpful tips rolling in! -
Marc writes -
The hottest part of a flame is the tip of the inner cone (blue part). You should never touch the cone to the work-piece. (sorry, I majored in product design - metals)Duely noted & Thnx!
Keith writes -
Boy Scout tip -- be careful heating porous rock and concrete. If it has a high moisture content and the water boils faster than it can be driven out, the rock could potentially explode.Another reason I should've stayed in scouts - good point.It certainly doesn't look like that was an issue here, but one might recommend baking the moisture out at < 100°C for a while before torching.

MAKE presents: The Diode
It's the simplest semiconductor device made. It's technology ushered in the age of radio. Say hello to the electronic valve that rectifies and regulates - the diode!
Download the m4v file or subscribe in iTunes
As per usual, making this installment of the series taught me quite a few things. Prior to reading up on the diode, I wasn't aware how closely its development was tied to the birth of radio - and just how finicky crystal detectors can be. I had a crystal demo in mind for this one, but it seems temperature and humidity hampered efforts to use my newly acquired galena samples. Oh well, more to come ... Fortunately there is a good example of a DIY razorblade diode in Bre's Foxhole Radio vid - good stuff.
And just in case you've missed any past installments of the MAKE presents vids, here they are in a big ol' stack format -
