Duh ? Microwave part of EM spectre (maybe that ins't the right word, i'm
sure someone out there will correct me if i'm wrong) is above UHF,
starting with frequency of few GHz (depends on source of information -
some put it at 1 GHz for example) to some huge numbers (measured in THz,
10^12 Hz). Then comes the IR light that end at some 425 THz (4.25 *
10^14 Hz, according to short calculation, [*]) and is followed by
visible light spectre that blends into UV somewhere near 1132 THz [*].
This means that UV frequencies are few 100 (1000 ?) times higher than MW
and their effect can't be compared at all.
Shorter: burning EPROM in microwave oven will do nothing (useful). Get
some cheapo UV EPROM eraser, they don't cost much.
[*]: i made an assumption here - i took 770 nm wavelength for red light
(IR blends into red) and 265 nm wavelength for very intensive violet
(actually UV). for calculations. References usually put IR diodes at 930
nm and red at 760-770.
