Precise Downsizing of a <100 um Thin Die out of a Package prior to Delayering

Delayering is a process that is used for preparing a thin die for failure analysis and isolating faults after it is removed from its package. To delayer a sample, its size must be decreased as it reduces edge rounding and increases control of planar polishing.
