The passage around this formula

That second half of the trade is where yield risk concentrates. If a bonded interface carries N individual interconnects and each has an independent probability π\pi of a bonding defect — misalignment, particle contamination, or a void — then the probability the whole interface bonds cleanly falls as Ybond(N)  ≈  (1−π)NY_{\mathrm{bond}}(N) \;\approx\; (1-\pi)^{N}. Because N itself grows as roughly 1/p2p^{2} under the density relation…
