The opposite process to chip fabrication is called deprocessing. ... There are two main applications of deprocessing. One is to remove the passivation layer, exposing the top metal layer for microprobing attacks. Another is to gain access to the deep layers and observe the internal structure of the chip. Three basic deprocessing methods are used: wet chemical etching, plasma etching, also known as dry etching, and mechanical polishing ... 4, record 1, English, - wet%20etching

Au début de l'ère de la microélectronique, les matériaux étaient gravés par la gravure chimique liquide(ou la gravure humide). Cette voie a ses avantages : une attaque qui peut être très sélective, un faible coût des produits et du matériel, et une cinétique souvent rapide. Mais elle présente beaucoup d’inconvénients [...] : la gravure est généralement isotrope d’où une résolution limitée, la quantité de produit gravant est importante, la manipulation est délicate(acides et bases à forte concentration), et il existe des problèmes d’adhésion des masques de résine [...] 2, record 1, French, - gravure%20humide

In the seventies, the CEA, in collaboration with its subsidiaries Sfec and Technicatome, developed a fuel with a low level of enrichment, Caramel. The CEA used complete cores of Caramel in the Isis and Osiris reactors. It recently abandoned use of Caramel in Osiris to the benefit of silicide fuel. Caramel fuel was and, it seems, may still be, used in submarines. Caramel fuel is composed of flat pastilles of uranium oxide enriched to about 7.5%. Each pastille has almost the shape and size of a true caramel, hence the name. 1, record 14, English, - Caramel%20fuel

Abattage à front en chantier.

Selon l'épaisseur du gisement, il peut y avoir plusieurs fronts d’attaque simultanés disposés en gradins(«benches») offrant deux faces ouvertes, ce qui facilite la fragmentation des terrains.
