Automated Inspection
E cient soldering process control requires the acquisition of statistical data on the solder joints of a larger number of samples.
phoenix|x-ray o ers a range of plug-in software modules for the automatic evaluation of standard solder joints like BGA, QFP,
QFN, or PTH. For non-typical interconnections, appropriate modules can quickly be customized with the XE² (X-ray image Evalu-
ation Environment) software. Together with the high precision CNC manipulation, which comes standard with phoenix|x-ray
systems these modules enable the automatic X-ray inspection (AXI) of solder joints at minimum set-up time, due to teach-in
programming and auto-setup routines. An additional software package – quality|review – is the perfect connection to rework.
phoenix|x-ray's inspection modules can also easily be activated during manual inspection as a quick inspection aid.
Software for the automated X-ray analysis of
microscopic solder joints, even with back-
ground structures present. The analysis runs
fully automated and is extremely time-sav-
ing.
The following c4-parameters can be in-
spected:
• Missing solder balls
• Void size
• Void percentage
• Number of voids
Software designed for the automated void-
ing analysis of die-attach and planar solder
joints with versatile set-up options:
• Calculation of the total voiding percent-
age
• Calculation of the void count
• Sorting voids according to variable
thresholds
• Defi nition of hot zones
• Calculation of the minimum void diameter
• Calculation of die tilt and rotation
• Automated die inspection
• Dimple solder joint correction
• Inspection and analysis of multiple-die
packages
The radiation dose typically used in
X-ray inspection is only a thousandth
of the dose rate that would cause da-
mage to semiconductor components.
phoenix|x-ray provides a variety of op-
tions for controlling and adjusting the
dose rate e.g.:
• low-dose|mode
• automated inspection routines (AXI)
• collimated beams
• self-fi ltering target
As a solution for AXI with highest defect cov-
erage, phoenix|x-ray provides calibrated high
precision o ine AXI systems including the
unique x|act software package for fast and
easy o ine CAD-programming. Small views
with highest resolution of a few micrometers,
360° rotation and oblique viewing up to 70°
ensure to meet highest quality standards.
Among the automated X-ray inspection, the
AXI system can be used for manual failure
analysis or 3D computed tomography as
well.
