Freescale Produces the First Record Album on a Silicon Wafer

Finding innovation in old places, Freescale Semiconductor has engineered a modern application for a classic music format – record albums. For the first time, an eight-inch silicon wafer was programmed and etched to play a music recording, just like a vinyl record album. Developed within the Freescale Discovery Lab, this retro project intends to demonstrate the unique expertise in the company’s engineering and manufacturing facilities.
