While i was sieving/separating wires and heatsinks from silicon dies (from mixed IC chips) i found this strange looking object/material. It looks like molten yellow glass, like amber. I never saw anything similar inside of IC chips.
It is about 7mm long.
I thought that this material somehow "got there" from another source (not IC chips) but it is very unlikely because when i looked under microscope i could see some epoxy/ash particles still attached to it - meaning it was covered with epoxy once before. Not to mention that i really take care of while sorting - it never happened that i put some other material along IC chips.
Material is light - 0.08g. While looking at it from different angles - reflection of light comes with many colors - especially purple and blue - but that reflection could not be seen on pictures.
Does anyone have idea what this could be?
