What kind of microchip are you trying to copy? What part number? What company provided this chip?
How about some information!!!
It is a 28 pin PIC16F873,

It is found in one of our physics equipment.
We want to make a backup in case this one gets damaged
as it has in the past. Students use this equipment and we
know how they are.
