Theoretically impossible.... meaning there have been types of technologies
that have been tried to get to get semiconductor chips closer together.
Mostly these ideas have failed.  But to recreate an image, you need to
capture a continuous array of rays.  If you lose some space between chips,
then you must invent those pixels.  Certainly not a good idea at image
capture.

The real problem is that you want to buy the larger chip at a cheap price.
It does not work that way.  Bigger chips = more costly.  If you were NASA,
you could have a 12 inch chip ( 8x10 dreamers ) but the cost would be
astronomical.
