What the article says around this equation
The arithmetic behind that reputation is straightforward and still governs every multi-die package built today. A packaged part’s yield is not the yield of its worst component; it is the product of every component’s yield together with the yield of the assembly step that joins them. Write the package yield as a function of the assembly yield and the yield of each of N individual die placed into the package:
