Now that's something that can make a Dad catch a tear.

Sounds like she's a terrific daughter.  Well done her!




(Well done you.)

Congratulations on such a Daughter and your ability to teach so well.
This is a huge achievement for both of you and you have all reasons to be proud of it.

Lovely, and I'm sure you received more than just that!

Congrats and best wishes to you both.

Like a Mastercard commercial;

Tuition for your daughter at a prestigious University: xxx,xxx dollars
Boarding away from home: yyy,yyy dollars
Travel expenses to visit her during all these years: zz,zzz dollars

Receiving such a lovely gift from your daughter: Priceless!!

BTW, what does this IC do?

More like 42 ICs, but close enough. :-+

Also would be curious for more info on them --- they look huge in terms of die area, so I'm guessing it's an older process?

They were made in 2013 at a school.   I was surprised that a school had a fab.  How common are fabs in schools?
