@MakeGold How GOLD is made Unveiling the Process of Gold Extraction from IC Chips
While IC chips do contain and utilize gold in their construction, the gold is not extracted from the chips themselves. Instead, gold is obtained through mining and various extraction processes from gold-bearing ores and deposits found in the Earth's crust.
The gold used in IC chip manufacturing is typically sourced from gold mines, recycled from electronic waste (e-waste), or obtained through other gold recovery methods. The extracted gold is then purified and processed into the thin films or wires required for IC chip production.
In summary, while IC chips contain gold wiring and components, the gold itself is not manufactured or extracted from the chips. Rather, the gold used in IC chip production comes from established gold mining and extraction processes, which are separate from the IC chip manufacturing process itself.
Gold wire is indeed used in Integrated Circuit (IC) chips, particularly in the packaging and bonding processes. Gold is an excellent conductor of electricity and is highly resistant to corrosion, making it an ideal material for such applications. In IC manufacturing, gold wires are used to connect the semiconductor die to the package leads, providing electrical connections within the chip. These wires are typically very thin, often on the order of micrometers in diameter, due to the precision required in modern semiconductor technology.

So i dont need incineration? I never processed my chips because i have no place to incinerate such a large amount. I live in a duplex in a populated area. Acids are no problem. Incineration is a problem for me. Honestly, though, i have another kilo of good pins to harvest and process still. So chips will be waiting a long time for me to get to. I used your 50/50 dillute nitric method for my pins, then AR 3x, last time in poormans AR. The dropped mud looks super pure! Ill likely melt tonight, it looks like 3 grams plus. Im sitting on cpus too, so much to do, and little time. If you were in the USA, I'd send you so much material from what i can't get to.
