This scenario involves applying high-voltage electroplating directly to a silicon nitrite diffusion layer. The concern is how current distribution and material behavior would change under such conditions. It’s a complex interaction between the diffusion barrier properties and electrical stimulation. Understanding the potential effects on adhesion, layer integrity, and overall device performance is crucial here.

The top layer of the silicon die isn't conductive. Placing a conductor on it and sending current through it wouldn't affect the CPU's electrical isolation. Unless you increase the voltage significantly, the CPU should stay unaffected in terms of function.
