  • Abstract
    The failure distributions of a small area can be transformed to distributions of a larger area provided the data to be transformed exhibit a bimodal distribution with an extrinsic region that characterises the defect-related region explicitly. The defect density follows a power-law relationship that shows a decline in defect density as the area increases
