-[* black] The die photo for the Infineon 1014 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASIC|ASIC] doesn't reveal too much about its functional layout as there is a large metal layer over the ASIC. However, Chipworks does have a [link|http://bit.ly/cYYSpK|full] [link|http://bit.ly/aJZf3l|analysis] on a similar device from Infineon for interested parties.

[* black] It could be for RF shielding, or simply to stop folks looking at the die circuitry now that teardowns are getting popular. Of course, that wouldn't deter either us or Chipworks – taking off metal layers is what we do best!
