How did you split it?

If you put the chip along it's side against something hard, and gently strike it with a hammer the tops tend to pop off. Also you can take two pair of vice grips, hold the bottom portion with one pair, and the very top portion with the second pair, twist and coax them apart like an oreo cookie. Or, you can even put them in a vice and slowly apply pressure, the top will eventually pop off. OR you can heat them up real hot, quench them in water and the tops tend to pop off.
The oxide layer between the silicon layers, is very fragile and will shatter or break with very little work or effort. You could probably drop it on it's side and it might pop off.

At the heart of science is an essential balance between two seemingly contradictory attitudes--an openness to new ideas, no matter how bizarre or counterintuitive they may be, and the most ruthless skeptical scrutiny of all ideas, old and new. This is how deep truths are winnowed from deep nonsense. -- Carl Sagan
