Open run card ->DEEPENING PLAN
From concept to research artifact.
Packaging, test, and reliability depth follows evidence after wafer fabrication into interconnect, heat, hybrid bonding, screening, stress, and failure analysis.
Vocabulary and mechanisms
- Package ladder: interconnect, substrate, assembly, parasitic, thermal path, and warpage vocabulary.
- Test ladder: wafer sort, final test, guardband, retest, binning, and escape-risk vocabulary.
- Reliability ladder: stress condition, acceleration model, failure mode, lifetime claim, and FA evidence.
Queued seed simulations
- Board-level parasitic and thermal interaction replay linking package choice to signal and heat budgets.
- Final-test guardband replay separating yield loss, escape risk, and retest burden.
- HTOL and thermal-cycle reading replay focused on vocabulary, not qualification approval.
- Failure-analysis decision ladder replay from symptom, electrical signature, physical evidence, and limit.
- Process-device-yield integration replay separating variation families, device evidence, circuit margin, reliability and yield evidence, genealogy, role review, exact ledgers, and the human-reviewed public-atlas handoff.
- Four-family packaging and test atlas separating bonding and interfaces, thinning and dicing, probe and test measurement, and panel placement, warpage, RDL, molding, and plating evidence.
Claim fitness checks
- Reliability examples state stress condition and model boundary before any lifetime language.
- Test examples separate screening evidence from product release authority.
- FA examples keep observation, hypothesis, and confirmed root cause as separate fields.
- Operational attribution requires owned process and equipment history, calibrated metrology, device characterization and models, circuit context, reliability and test evidence, lot-wafer-die-device genealogy, uncertainty, validation, and accountable human approval.
- Operational use requires owned materials and equipment identity, genealogy, measurements, calibration, mapping, tester and probe state, coverage, uncertainty, reliability, qualification, acceptance governance, disposition authority, and accountable human approval.
Paper-ready artifacts
- One package tradeoff table with electrical and thermal columns.
- One test guardband plot with yield and escape-risk language.
- One reliability/FA note explaining what evidence would be required for a real claim.
Capstone Target
Build a post-fab evidence packet that can explain what remains uncertain after a die works electrically.
Open all-domain roadmap ->EVIDENCE BACKLOG
What this lane needs next.
The backlog keeps future additions useful rather than noisy. New pages should enter through a domain tag, public source anchor, model boundary, and precomputed evidence package.
What is already usable
- SA-PTR-001 groups package parasitics, thermal stack, wafer sort, and reliability stress vocabulary, and v65 adds hybrid bonding mechanical readiness.
- The lane is evidence literacy only, not ATE programming, manufacturing qualification, or product release.
- Future additions should separate FA vocabulary, board-level reliability, final-test evidence, and hybrid bonding reliability.
Good candidates
- failure-analysis ladder
- board-level reliability vocabulary
- final-test evidence
- hybrid bonding reliability evidence
- owned process, device, circuit, reliability, test, genealogy, yield, uncertainty, and accountable review evidence for cross-domain attribution
- owned material, interface, equipment, carrier, probe-card, tester, calibration, mapping, genealogy, coverage, reliability, qualification, acceptance, and disposition evidence
