Starting in the 1970s, computer chip designers secretly etched tiny artworks onto silicon processors—from simple initials to elaborate drawings like dinosaurs driving cars.
These "silicon doodles," thinner than human hair, served as signatures and anti-theft measures when companies like IBM, Hewlett-Packard, and Qualcomm had unused chip space for creative expression.
Today, collectors like Kenton Smith race to find these digital fossils before old electronics are scrapped.
Smith discovered his first doodle by accident and now sources vintage devices in search of more hidden designs.
Florida State University's Silicon Zoo website began cataloging these images in the 1990s.
Modern manufacturing tolerances eliminate space for such artistic freedom, making these microscopic signatures relics of engineering's "maverick days."
Sources for images: New York Times, Kenton Smith, and Chipworks
