noooo
the AMD markings are engraved (laser cut in actuality, I've been told) into the surface
and I do believe this is so
'cause when I lap the green oxide will slowly be removed and the lettering remains
no, I don't have a surface profilometer (sp ?); what it would take to do that
and I suspect the very high angularity (promoting substrate-to-substrate contact) would be difficult to reproduce
(I do not know how that surface is produced - anyone ??)
