Abstract: Abstract Chips are probably the most complex structures ever designed and produced by man. On a small silicon chip of the size of a fingernail, one is today able to accommodate billions of transistors, linked by millions of connecting wires whose total length can exceed several kilometres. Figure 1, which was made with a scanning tunnelling microscope, shows a very small part (about one billionth) of a modern chip with two wiring levels.
