There are several potential ways of making them. The two that come to mind quickest are by using existing images of the smaller structures, such as logic gates and the various components, to create a composite image. The second is by storing the information needed to draw them using GD itself -- the lines, arcs and other shapes. I believe onion2k's site, PHPGD.com has examples of creating composites; I know he has examples of drawing various shapes.
