EP, "I did no such thing." No, you mislead, and severely. You made an assertion that the problem mist be minor, and in definite terms: you said "this is", not "likely is", or something like that. The essence of your assessment is technically absolutely wrong: if you are an "expert" as you say, you should know that the passivation layer is a thin layer of SiO2, or simply a layer of GLASS. If you don't clear contact pads, nothing could make an electrical contact, and the packaged chip would immediately fail, will be dead out the water, and never would get out the factory in first place. Even a solder ball process would never proceed, you, expert. Not having guts to admit such blunder and responding in the way you did, the only escape route for you from this situation is to say that you simply made a joke, as you did before several times. I will understand. - Ali
