“…Recently, an improved 4PB application has been developed by combining with the indentation test; nevertheless, this does not simplify the application of the 4PB test [18,19]. Even though higher strength is estimated with the ball or ring related tests from the recent trend of literatures, it is suggested that those ball on ring (BoR), ring on ring (RoR) and ball breaker (BB) tests are only good in evaluating the silicon surface related strength, either without influence from the assembly process or with an intended focus on the potential treatment improvement on the silicon surface [12,[15][16][17][20][21][22][23][24]. The critical impact, such as edge flaw or chipping, is excluded due to the nature of the test setup.…”
