I’ve often wondered about die thinning. I mean just looking at sd cards and micro sd etc, it was clear that there had to be a thinning step (or many steps) and it seemed amazing to me that such a complex step could be economically viable. And yet it clearly is. All a matter of being able to operate at scale I guess.

It’s not a step I’ve seen discussed very much, so it was kind of neat to see it discussed front and center in a lay article like this.
