I must protest. 2 microns is not ridiculously small. This, built by some former colleagues, is ridiculously small: http://www.news.cornell.edu/releases/july97/

Though it is - god help me - nearly fifteen years old so presumably it is no longer that ridiculous. [1] These things probably ship inside every iPhone by now, or something.
Of course, none of this banter should lead you to conclude that the OP's chip art is any less than awesome. Remember, it's not the microscopicness of the equipment that matters, but how you use it. The colors are a very nice touch, for example.

[1] And I'm not even going to talk about those AFM folks, or the self-assembled nanomaterials folks. They are just too ridiculous.
- Retric 16y agoThose strings are fairly large compared to modern transistors. In September 2010, Hynix began mass producing 20 nm Class Technology 64 Gb NAND Flash - Hynix Press Release. This works out to ~20nm before the same pattern repeats compared to the 50 micron width of those strings.
- ot 16y ago1 micron is not cool. You know what's cool?
