  3. Introduction • Solder joint reliability is a primary concern in the assembly of all Electronic components and products. • The importance of solder joint reliability became more emphasized in recent years as a result of three factors: • 1) The shift from leaded to lead-free solders in semiconductor industry. • 2) Shrinking in die size as well as solder balls dimension. • 3) The emergence of fine-pitched area array packages that employ hundreds of solder joints for electrical connection.

  5. Introduction Hidden Solder Joints !?

Figure 2a: X-ray image of solder joints Figure 2b: Ultrasound C-scan image of solder joints Introduction • Acoustic Micro Imaging and X-ray imaging are principle Non-Destructive Testing techniques. • Both techniques can penetrate through the component to image the hidden solder joints. • X-ray inspection and AMI are complementary, each technology has distinct discriminating features and is good at inspecting certain defects.

  7. Introduction • AMI is an effective approach for detecting gap-type defects due to strong reflections of ultrasound at a solid-air interface. • X-ray inspection is able to identify volumetric defects which are hard to detect by AMI.

  8. Introduction • Penetration of AMI through several layers of dissimilar materials is a big challenge for AMI, whereas X-ray penetration is good but without the discrimination accuracy. • Inspection of flip chip and BGA solder joints still remains a significant challenge to current testing techniques • FUSION of ultrasound and X-ray data for flip chip and BGA solder joints provides a novel way to interpret and analyse the image of the solder joints and potentially increases the resolution of very small dimensions

  9. Introduction • When two complementary techniques are combined, they could be helpful in reinforcing certain evaluations, improving feature measurement resolution, technique can also applied to other fields. • Combining multiple image modalities to provide a single, enhanced picture is offering an added value and more informative data to the processor in order to developing an automated inspection system. (Smith, 2005) • In future, other techniques such as MRI. Infrared and AFM could be added.

  10. Acoustic Micro Imaging • Acoustic Micro Imaging (AMI) is makes use of the properties of ultrasonic waves which range from 5MHz to 400MHz. • Ultrasonic waves are generated by a piezoelectric transducer and propagate through an object. • When the wave travels through the object, it may be scattered, reflected and absorbed with respect to the differences between acoustic properties of materials.

  13. X-Ray Imaging • X-ray microscope imaging uses electromagnetic radiation in the soft X-ray band to produce images of very small objects. • When X-rays pass through a materials, it experience a variety of scattering interaction. These interactions lead to energy attenuation and the energy is detected by a Charge Coupled Devices (CCD). • X-rays imaging is a contrast imaging technique where high density materials lead to higher attenuation and hence produce darker image than those with less density or thickness.

  15. Image Registration • The essential step in the fusion process is to bring the X-ray and C-scan images into spatial alignment, known as registration. • Image Registration is the process of overlaying two or more images of the same scene taken at different times, different viewpoints or different sensors. • The registration geometrically align two images or transform different set of data into one coordinate system.

  16. Image Registration • Registration is have been widely used in: • Medicine • Combining CT, NMR or MRI data • Remote Sensing • Multispectral classification • Environmental monitoring • Change detection • Image mosaicing • Weather forecasting • Computer Vision • Target localization, • automatic quality control • Military • Satelite detection • Map updating

  21. Image Registration • Point based methods and Least Square Approximation • The transformation that aligns the corresponding fiducial points will interpolate the mapping from these points to other points in the view. w= weighting factor X= points of reference image Y= points of sensed image R= rotation t= Translation Figure 13: Measurement for Registration Errors

  22. Image Registration • Compute the weighted centroid of the fiducial configuration in each space: • Compute the weighted fiducial covariance matrix:

  23. Image Registration • Perform singular value decomposition (SVD) of H • Finally,

  25. Image Fusion • The term Image Fusion generally implies the intelligent combination of multi-modality sensor imagery for the purpose of providing an enhanced single view of a scene with extended information content. (Smith, 2005) • Fundamental Standard of fusion • The fused image should preserve all salient information of source images. • The fusion process should not introduce any artefacts or inconsistencies into the fused image. • Undesirable features (noise) should be suppressed in the fused image.

  27. Image Fusion Maximum Amplitude and Weighted Pixel Averaging • Common Fusion Algorithm approaches: • Disadvantages • Also suppresses salient features • Low contrast • ‘washed-out’ appearance • Advantages: • Easy implemented • Fast to execute • Suppressing noise

  28. Image Fusion • Multi-Resolution Methods • Extract the salient features at several levels of image decomposition from coarse to fine • Pyramidal Schemes • Gaussian Pyramid • Laplacian Pyramid • Wavelet Schemes • Colour Fusion • Advantages • Produce sharp, high-contrast images • Disadvantages • Reserve unwanted features • Further Assessment is required

  33. Conclusion • Increasing the Solder Joints reliability can increase the product life time and increases customer quality. • Reduces potential warranty costs. • Image fusion provide a new method to keep inspection of hidden solder joints in line with the rapid reduction in component size • Improves the ability to inspect smaller dimensions seen in newer packaging. May also improve the inspection of area array parts such as BGA which contain interposer • Image fusion remains a challenging technology and its application in electronic inspection is less mature and required additional research and assessment
