What it is

General reference — not yet source-verified

X-ray inspection systems are used for non-destructive testing and metrology, providing internal imaging of assembled components without physical sectioning. Computed tomography extends this capability to three-dimensional reconstruction, enabling volumetric analysis of internal structures.

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

An X-ray inspection system generates X-rays from a source that pass through the sample. A detector on the opposite side measures the attenuated radiation to produce a two-dimensional projection image. In computed tomography, the sample is rotated through many angles, and a reconstruction algorithm combines the projections into a three-dimensional volume.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

Applications of X-ray inspection include detection of voids in solder joints, verification of wire bond integrity, inspection of flip-chip bumps, and examination of internal features of packaged microelectronics. Computed tomography is applied for detailed characterization of complex assemblies such as multi-die packages, microelectromechanical systems, and advanced interconnect structures.
