What it is
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedA scanning acoustic microscope operates by transmitting focused ultrasonic pulses into a sample and receiving the reflected echoes, which vary according to the acoustic impedance of internal interfaces.
The transducer is mechanically scanned across the sample surface, and variations in echo amplitude and time-of-flight are converted into acoustic images that reveal subsurface features.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedScanning acoustic microscopy is typically employed after critical bonding or assembly steps, such as wafer bonding, die attach, flip-chip underfill, or encapsulation, to verify the integrity of internal interfaces.
Scanning acoustic microscopes are common in semiconductor packaging facilities and research laboratories that require non-destructive detection of hidden defects.
Applications
General reference — not yet source-verifiedScanning acoustic microscopy is used to inspect wafer bonds, such as silicon-on-insulator (SOI) or bonded MEMS wafers, for interface integrity.
