What this part means
The lower label selects a particular version, component, or indexed member of the quantity. For example, x₀ and xₜ can be values at different positions.
Its job in the formula
A subscript distinguishes a version, component, step, or member of a quantity. It does not automatically mean multiplication.

The passage around this formula
The arithmetic behind that claim is a plain probability composition, and it is worth writing down because it is the one piece of real math in advanced packaging that most design reviews skip past. If each of n chiplets bonded into one package has an independent per-die yield , the assembly’s final yield is approximately . which is a first-order model — it assumes bonding introduces no additional defects and that die yields are independent, both of which are simplifications addressed separately below. Even under this optimistic assumption, four chiplets each yielding 95% compose to roughly 81% assembly yield, and a twenty-die stack at the same per-die yield falls to…
Learn the underlying idea
A subscript is a label attached below a symbol. It often selects a time step, component, category, or member of a sequence.
