This artwork is a mixed media display celebrating the Intel 4004 and its supporting chipset: The 4001 ROM, The 4002 RAM, and the 4003 I/O Expander. Introduced in 1971, the Intel 4004 was the worlds first microprocessor, and the 4001, 4002, 4003 were the first microprocessor chipset. Each of these chips did double duty providing multiple functions for the 4004.

The Busicom 141-pf was the first calculator/computer to use an Intel 4004. It also used all of the chips of the 4004 chipset, except for the 4002-2. This 11"x14" artwork includes several items. It has a large image of the 4004 Intel chip as the background and the chips are mounted on platforms above it. On the back are the artists signature and a narrative describing the artwork and the chip. Also, the artwork includes actual working chips as follows. The Intel P4004 Microprocessor chip. The Intel P4001 ROM chip. The Intel P4002-1 RAM chip, and. The Intel P4003 Serial I/O chip.

Each of these P chips are in a black polyresin 16 lead DIP (Dual Inline Package). The artwork is framed in an 8"x10" black shadow box frame, with glass.

All framing materials are acid free. A narrative about the artwork that includes the artists signature is placed on the back of the artwork. Limited by availability of chips. Want to see more ChipScapes?

Computer chips start out as ordinary sand, which is silicon dioxide. However, the silicon must be made very, very pure. The first step is to melt the sand, in a furnace that reaches about 3200. F, and mix with carbon. This first purification process creates 99% pure Silicon, a common output is Silicon Carbide.

The Silicon Carbide is processed in a trichlorosilane distillation method to create 99.9999% pure silicon called polycrystalline silicon. The polysilicon is broken up into chunks. These chunks are melted in a crucible at about 2500. A silicon crystal seed is dipped in molten silicon and slowly drawn out to create a cylinder of silicon.

These silicon cylinders are some of the purest crystals on the planet. Once the silicon cylinder is grown to the desired diameter, it is sawed into wafers. These wafers are polished to achieve a very flat mirror surface. Transistors, and other micro-electronic parts, are built on the polished wafer in layers in a process called etching. The wafer is then sawed into its individual chips. Each chip is mounted in an electronic package that serves to protect it and connect it to the outside world. It has been said that computer chips are the greatest value added product in the world. We essentially take a pile of sand and change it into thousands of dollars worth of computer chips. These artworks are the creation of. Are photographs taken of computer chips, boards, and other computer artifacts. They are sort of chip landscapes, or. Most often a macro-lens or microscope is used with special lightning to achieve these unique artworks. Intel, IBM, Fairchild, DEC, Signetics, Intersil, AMD, Zilog, Motorola, MOS, NEC, Texas Instruments, are some of the great chip making companies.

Chips like the Intel 4004, MOS 6502, Zilog Z80, AMD 2901, IBM PowerPC and others have changed the way people work and play. Are dedicated to preserving and sharing these computing and communication technologies that changed the world. Artworks are fine collectible artworks.

Come is a variety of shapes sizes and colors. Clusters of my artwork make for stunning displays! Would make a great gift for the nerd, geek, engineer, programmer, IT executive, or just that technology savvy person in your.

If you are interested in art on a subject or chip that you don't see listed, please message me. I have hundreds of artwork and cannot keep them all listed. Also, I do custom artworks. If I think it will be of general interest, the pricing will be similar to what you see in my store.

If it is very specific to your interests the pricing will be higher, since I can't spread the development costs over multiple sales. For more information about ChipScapes. Please check out my ChipScapes.
