This is an old revision of the document!
The Silicon Archive is a collection of practical integrated circuit and general electronics information. Most of it is manifested as die shots.
As of 11/01/2013 there are 77
Linked from pages when available and can be found at: http://siliconpr0n.org/map/ Tiles were originally output at .jpg quality 75 but since upgrading pr0n disk space in early 2013 tiles should now uploaded at .jpg quality 90.
Original images used to generate tiles can be found interspersed with the tiles. Sometimes these are not available for one reason or another but in any case can be reconstructed from the map tiles (most likely at some loss of quality) by running something like “montage -geometry +0+0 -tile 73×60 *.jpg out.png”

azonenberg's standard is as follows: foo_20kV_2kx_3e-11a_15mm_ap4_se_01.jpg
Some older images do not follow this standard exactly and will be renamed to the canonical form as time permits. All new SEM images should follow the standard naming convention.
All images should be captured in a lossless form such as TIFF and converted to JPEG for web purposes. Lossless compression reduces artifacts and makes the images more friendly for machine vision, so the original files should be used for analysis when possible.
