 ====== Backside analysis ======
-Fabs often thin wafers and perform backside analysis to get at the transistors without going through metal.  [Functional IC Analysis] doesn't look like they thinned and they got pretty decent results.

 ==== FIB ====
-The "professional" high end solution used for small processes.  Equipment is rather expensive. (how much?)
+The "professional" high end solution used for small processes.  Equipment is rather expensive. Some estimates seem to put them around an order of magnitude of 500,000 USD.
+FIB time can often be rented on an hourly basis from universities and research labs.
+azonenberg is beginning to experiment with FIB. [[azonenberg:fibnotes|Lab notes]]

     * The IBM PCI card thing has one externally but maybe not plausible yet at chip level
+No mention of masked etching.  Ex: putting PR or nail polish and etching with HF
