Checked brightness ranges for chip prints: the lab’s exact wording

The lab’s own sentences and figures for this result, word for word, in its working terms, with its limits in plain words where the lab’s text cannot be reprinted. The plain account is on the result’s page; it says the same things in plain words.

The lab’s plain-English sentence

A check of how light will print a chip pattern computes, for every point of the printed image, a range that is guaranteed to contain the brightness the lab's own detailed simulation gives on its 64-by-64 grid of 2-nanometre pixels (not what silicon would show) … across 232 test masks the simulated brightness never fell outside that range

[“Guaranteed” here excludes the numerical error of one internal calculation step, which the range does not account for.]

Pixels outside the range, across the lab’s test masks, in its words

0 soundness violations over 13,303,808 pixel-checks across 232 masks

The limit to read first, in the lab’s words

Finite battery, simulator-relative.

Before the fix

before that fix the same battery gave 90 false admits, all of them there

After the fix

made 0 false admits among 175 fast admits over 1,252 checks of 102 masks

The earlier record’s speed figures, in the lab’s current words

Speed: the figures these limits quoted before 2026-09-24 did not match their artifact

Claim

An outward-rounded interval enclosure of the aerial image had 0 soundness violations over 13,303,808 pixel-checks across 232 masks; its fast gate, with the full gate re-judging every check, made 0 false admits among 175 fast admits over 1,252 checks of 102 masks once it rejects any budget asking for more than the full gate's search range (350 of the checks); before that fix the same battery gave 90 false admits, all of them there, and the fix changed no fast decision on the other 902.

Part of the lab’s record (limits) is not reprinted here because it names internal files this site does not publish or uses internal working terms.

How we show numbers

Every number on this site links to the file it comes from. How each result is checked

  • We never show a number before its file has loaded.
  • A question we have not checked yet is marked as unchecked.
  • A check that found nothing says so.
  • A file with no value for a question says so.
  • A number whose file is missing or has changed is not shown.
  • Two files that disagree about what a number describes are both flagged.
  • A number from too few samples shows its sample size.
  • Two files that give different values are both shown.
  • A file we cannot publish is listed by its fingerprint only.
  • A measurement more than a week old shows its age.
  • A question that does not apply to a page is left off it.
  • A measurement whose program failed is shown as failed.
