I'm always fascinated by how brilliant us humans can be. So much so that we can put billions of transistors in very small spaces and in complex structures while also mass producing it.

I highly recommend watching this video about lithography and the machine that makes it all possible [1].

On the less serious side I like EvilmonkeyzDesignz youtube shorts.

They generally looks for the doodles on older chips, but also looks at MEMs devices as well: https://www.youtube.com/@EvilmonkeyzDesignz

They would definitely be able to add to the list (they have a video of 100 chips for their 100k subscriber mark).

I only had a quick skim through their videos tab and almost every video is something I'd watch. Thanks for sharing. Looks like I have a fun evening ahead.
