That LOOKS like just a poorly cleaned decapsulation job. The stuff you're
asking about could either be from the overmold material or some deteriorating
seals in the decapsulator. So my instinct is that it's a "red herring" in your
failure analysis. This contaminant appears to be EXTREMELY thin, no more than
5 microns, because there doesn't seem to be a detectable difference in focus
height between this and adjacent circuitry (unless the image is actually a
composite of several different pictures at different focus heights).
