Micro-CT stands out as a versatile and powerful imaging technique that provides critical insights into the intricate 3D microarchitecture of electronic components. This application note explores the essential role micro-CT plays in both failure analysis and R&D by offering high-throughput and multi-scale information.
TESCAN’s micro-CT systems offer a non-destructive, multi-scale characterization tool that is the first step in identifying faults without compromising the integrity of the sample.
Key points covered in this application note:
- Failure Analysis and R&D: Micro-CT detects tiny defects and examines devices under various conditions, providing crucial high-resolution images.
- Versatile Systems for Multi-Scale Analysis: TESCAN’s micro-CT systems handle a wide range of sample sizes. The Volume of Interest Scanning (VOIs) workflow allows high-resolution scanning of selected areas without extra sample manipulation.
- Real-Time 4D Imaging: Micro-CT enables real-time imaging of fast processes with temporal resolutions in under 5 seconds. Our dynamic CT, with Acquila™ and Panthera™ software, offers advanced 4D reconstruction and visualization.
- Battery Quality Assessment: TESCAN’s VOIs workflow quickly localizes batteries and identifies structural defects for detailed analysis, ensuring a reliable power supply in electronic devices.
- Rapid Quality Control: Our systems provide high-quality scans in minutes, with optimized scans taking less than an hour, ensuring efficient quality assurance.
- Failure Analysis in Larger Components: Micro-CT offers a non-invasive method to inspect HDD components, crucial for identifying and addressing failures like ‘head crashes’ in hard disk drives.
- TESCAN spectral CT: Enables non-destructive analysis, element identification, and chemical composition determination with high-resolution imaging, making it versatile for quality control and failure analysis in microelectronics.
