Microprocessor instruction decode unit. Light micrograph of an Intel Pentium microprocessor's instruction decode unit. In each instruction cycle or fetch-decode-execute cycle,the decode unit decodes the prefetched instructions for the processor to execute. The chip was fabricated by photolithography,using several overlapping metalization layers and vertical contacts to interconnect them in a mono-crystal silicon wafer,which serves as the substrate.
