Material Analysis is performed to detect and identify the materials used in the manufacturing of semiconductors and microelectronic parts and packages. One particular use of this analysis is the detection of prohibited materials, especially in the lead finish, to identify...

PIND ( Particle Impact Noise Detection Test ) testing is performed in order to detect the presence of loose particles inside a device cavity. Loose particle contamination is often caused by dirt, fibers, solder residues and other elements trapped inside the cavity during the...

The purpose of radiographic inspection is to detect internal physical defects which are not otherwise visible in electronic components. The radiographic techniques reveal such flaws as presence of foreign objects, improper interconnecting wires, inhomogeneities in materials...

Scanning Acoustic Microscopy (SAM) is an inspection that uses focused sound to investigate, measure, or obtain an internal image of an object. It is commonly used in failure analysis and non-destructive evaluation. The semiconductor industry has found the SAM, particularly the C...
