How do you clean the potting material off the chip to expose the circuitry?

Those are really unusual, what are they? And what is the deal with the cracks / arcing looking features?

Bob-0-Rama,
I don't know what they are, not being an engineer, but they occur all over this chip and look like some kind of contact point.
