Where the article explains it
If a bonded interface carries N individual interconnects and each has an independent probability of a bonding defect — misalignment, particle contamination, or a void — then the probability the whole interface bonds cleanly falls as \;\; (1-)^{N}.
The passage around this formula
Because N itself grows as roughly 1/ under the density relation above, falls unless the per-interconnect defect probability improves at least as fast as the pitch shrinks — which is precisely the motivation behind Chen and Gupta’s YAP+ framework, a pad-layout-aware yield model for copper-copper hybrid bonding that accounts for misalignment, particle contamination, copper recess variation, surface roughness and pad…

A variable is a named place for a value. Its letter is a local label: x can mean position in one formula and a data point in another.
