This is an investigation into the failure of silicon diodes. Photographs show the bare chip and contacts.

chemical opening


Explanation:
Does get a small handful of (relevant) Ghits, but I can't help feeling there ought to be more, so perhaps there is a better term.

Asker: Ah, Liz, this is quite different: it refers to the breaking open of a ring-shaped molecule. What I have is an electronic component - rather a larger scale!
