Equation 1 · Part 2 · When the Substrate Became the Product

Symbol A

Y(A)=(1+D0Ac)−c,Y(A) = \left(1 + \frac{D_0 A}{c}\right)^{-c},
AA

What this part means

the die area.

Its job in the formula

A occurs above the fraction bar. The numerator is divided by the entire denominator below it.

Where the article explains it

with defect density D0D_0 , die area A , and a clustering parameter c that captures the fact that defects are not independently scattered [ 2 ] .

The passage around this formula

The second ceiling is statistical and softer, but it bites earlier. Defects arrive on a wafer at some density, and the probability that a given die contains none of them falls as its area grows. Feng and Ma, in the cost model they published for multi-chiplet architectures, use the negative binomial form Y(A)=(1+D0Ac)−cY(A) = \left(1 + \frac{D_0 A}{c}\right)^{-c}. with defect density D0D_0 , die area A , and a clustering…
