Scanning acoustic microscopy (C-SAM)

SAM is a non-destructive analysis technique used in failure analysis to obtain information on die-attach integrity, delamination, voids, cracks, and the effectiveness of bonding processes (including solder efficiency). Additionally, SAM can assess the quality of sealing, coating, flip-chip underfills, wafer-to-wafer bonding, and solder bump integrity.

In addition to conventional SAM, we offer the possibility of analysis with Ghz SAM, which offers increased resolution.

  • Maximum scan area: 300 mm x 300 mm – 350 mm x 350 mm for conventional SAM, 100 µm – 1500 µm for Ghz SAM.

  • Transducer frequencies: 5 MHz - 1 Ghz (different devices) with theoretical resolution ranging from 100 µm to ~1 µm.

Please note that the maximum penetration depth depends on the acoustic properties of your specific material and acoustic impedance differences between material layers.
