• Reverse engineering the Intel 386 processor's register cell

  Reverse engineering one small circuit of the 386 turned out to be pretty tricky, so I don't plan to do a complete reverse engineering. The main difficulty is the two layers of metal are hard to untangle. Moreover, I lost most of the polysilicon when removing the metal. Finally, it is hard to draw diagrams with four layers without the diagram turning into a mess, but hopefully the diagrams made sense.
