By combining high-resolution 3D X-ray capabilities with AI-driven automated defect recognition (ADR) for solder bumps, the CA20 helps to detect systematic challenges faster than ever before. Now available as a fully-automated solution, it seamlessly integrates into the Fab’s material and information flows to deliver actionable real-time metrology data for assuring product quality and maximizing yield.

Speed up your process development with 3D X-ray

While inspections using destructive methods can take weeks, 3D X-ray gives your R&D engineers results they can work with right away. As a non-destructive testing (NDT) system, the CA20 supplies you with crystal-clear 3-dimensional images of nano details inside your ICs within minutes. Monitor your interconnects process, find flaws fast and feed your insights back into the process.

Identification of critical Advanced Packaging defects

3D X-ray produces high-resolution 3D volumes that allow manufacturers to measure and inspect bumps and identify smallest defects in record time. See critical defects such as non-wet, head-in-pillow or bump shift and determine the stand-off height to monitor die tilt or warping like never before.

From lab to fab. 

Whether you need the highest quality images to inspect your parts in a Lab/R&D environment, or you require a fully-automated solution that easily fits into your existing production process, the CA20 is available in a variety of configurations to suit your needs.

Small batch inspection & failure analysis.

While inspections using destructive methods can take weeks, 3D X-ray gives your R&D engineers results they can work with right away. Quickly ramp-up your interconnects process and find flaws fast with feedback gained from 3D images within minutes.

Fully-automated inspection. 

Our smart 3D X-ray inspection solution - for the fab. With a fully automatic loader and assisted defect recognition software, the CA20 is designed to complement your production line with consistent, fast and accurate 3D X-ray inspection. Monitor your interconnects process, recognize flaws fast and feed your insights back into the process.

Software Solutions

From software tools that rapidly detect and analyze the size and severity of defects, such as voids, solder bump misalignments, and head-in-pillow issues, to solutions that ensure delicate components remain shielded from harmful X-rays, the CA20 is equipped with a range of advanced software solutions across our three pillars of Clarity, Efficiency and Insights. Explore just a few of these below.  

The CoS 3D Clarity package as part of our award-winning Geminy software is your tool to quickly create high resolution 3D images.

Use our Batch Manager to inspect trays of ICs or substrate strips with a few clicks.

Protect your sensitive inspection parts from critical X-ray doses with the Dose Manager.

1. Clarity Image acquisition

Gain highest image data quality: See more details of your inspection samples by capturing brilliant 2D and 3D images.      

CoS 3D Clarity

The CoS 3D Clarity package is tailor-made for Advanced Packaging inspections with the CA20 system. Due to the precise manipulation of the CA20, its dedicated semi X-ray imaging chain and the powerful 3D volume reconstruction software, it allows for revolutionary resolution. 

2. Efficency - Connectivity & management

Increase your productivity: Streamline workflows between systems, software and people through seamless connectivity and automation.    

Dose Manager

Dose Manager continuously monitors and tracks the X-ray dose that the sample is subjected to, taking into account the tube power and the distance to the sample. To avoid damage to sensitive components such as flash and DRAM memories, it switches off the X-ray automatically once the dosage limit is reached. 

Batch Manager

Inspect multiple parts faster with our multi-part holders and batch manager, and inspect trays of ICs or substrate strips with just a few clicks.

3. Insights - Image analysis & process control

Improve product and process quality: Extract critical information from image data to stay ahead of your market.    

CoS Insights (Powered by Dragonfly)

Increased productivity through 3D metrology of Chip-on Substrate solder connections:

Speed up process development and failure analysis with fast, valuable insights and CoS 3D Clarity scans for bumps down to 50 µm.

Ensure quality and control by learning crucial parameters, detecting defects like Head-in-Pillow, and obtaining objective, reproducible results.

Efficient setup for single parts and small batches, with automated sequence programming and tools for comprehensive 2D and 3D inspections.

Results available in both PDF and machine-readable forms
