This article says that this chip came out in 2001. I wounder way they are revealing this now? I would imagine that the chips are even smaller now. Probably something nano in size...i would imagine.
New, Micro µ-Chip so Small it Could fit into a Vaccine
Finally, here it is the new and improved RFID micro chip!
The µ-Chip, announced by Hitachi in July 2001, is one of the world's smallest IC chips at 0.4mm X 0.4mm. Keep in mind folks this chip was announced in 2001, so that has been 8 years ago, just think of the advancements made since that time and how much smaller it may be at this very moment. Small enough for a vaccine?
With a size of 0.4mm square, the µ-chip is small enough to be attached to a variety of minute objects including embedding in paper, bank notes, gift certificates, documents, securities, identification, vouchers, whole paper media, etc., offers the user a highly sophisticated means of preventing counterfeiting.
The µ-chip data is recorded in read-only memory during the semiconductor production process, and therefore cannot be rewritten, thus guaranteeing its authenticity. Similar applications can be applied to instances to confirm if an individual has security clearance or approval or confirmation of having received medical attention (vaccine, etc.)
According to Hitachi's report, this 0.4mm X 0.4mm (picture above compares to the size of a grain of rice) µ-chip has an attached external antenna that allows external devices to read the 128-bit ID number stored in its ROM! Read entire article>>
