In today’s era of miniaturized, high-performance electronics, the true effectiveness of a semiconductor chip (die) depends not only on its design—but on its packaging. While the chip’s performance is crucial, it is the semiconductor packaging that enables functional integration, protects device integrity, and ensures reliable connections within microelectronic systems. As form ...
Introduction Optical measurement plays a critical role in modern precision manufacturing. Engineers constantly evaluate whether 2D or 3D optical measurement better suits their inspection needs. While both approaches rely on non-contact metrology, their capabilities, data output, and application suitability differ significantly. Understanding these differences helps improve accuracy, efficiency, ...
The measurement of manufactured components has evolved across decades. Traditional coordinate measuring machines (CMM) set a foundation for precision validation, while optical metrology introduced speed and non-contact ...
Introduction A measurement system is something we depend on every day, even if we never think about it. From checking the length of a part to ensuring a product meets tight tolerances, measurements guide decisions. In this guide, we will explore measurement systems ...
Most plumbing systems are covered behind walls or below ground so that they can’t be seen. If something goes wrong, it might be hard to find the problem without compromising things by digging ditches or tearing up floors. Today’s plumbers have found a faster and more accurate way to figure out what’s wrong. One of the most useful tools in the plumbing business is the ...
Introduction If you’ve ever wondered how engineers measure the tiniest details on a surface from semiconductor wafers to mobile phone parts, the answer often lies in a field called profilometry. In this blog, we’ll break down what profilometry is, how it works, and the key differences between contact and non-contact measurement methods in the simplest way possible. ...
In the era of miniaturized, high-performance electronics, the semiconductor chip is only as effective as its packaging. While the spotlight often falls on the chip itself, it is the semiconductor packaging that enables integration into real-world systems. This article by View Micro Metrology breaks down the concept of semiconductor packaging to help you understand what it is, why it matters, how ...
Fan-Out Wafer Level Packaging (FOWLP) has emerged as a game-changer in semiconductor packaging. It enables chips to be packaged with more I/O (input/output) density, superior electrical performance, and reduced size, meeting the needs of industries like 5G, automotive, AI, and consumer ...
Measurement accuracy has always been at the heart of technological progress. In the early days of manufacturing, metrology—defined as the science of measurement—was a manual and time-consuming process. As industries scaled up production, the demand for faster, more precise, and automated measurement systems grew. This led to the evolution of high throughput metrology, a field that ...
Defect detection in manufacturing refers to the process of identifying imperfections or faults in products during or after production. These defects can range from surface irregularities to structural flaws and dimensional inaccuracies. Detecting these defects early is crucial to ensure that products meet required specifications and quality standards. Advanced systems such as computer vision and ...
An excellent, traditional pub serving fresh food, cask ales and fine wines. Cheshire EHO had to intervene with this successful pub, due to complaints from local ...
Continuous Corrosion Rate Monitoring of Electrical Resistance Probes and Improved Data Accessibility Are Realized Through the CorTalk RMU1-ER Maintaining an excellent standard of safety and extending asset lifetimes often comes down to having the right data. From strict quality assurance and quality control practices during manufacturing and installation, to monitoring and inspection during ...
This article highlights the challenges that led the company to look for an automated measuring system to inspect their cockpits inline, their customer’s requirements for initiating production for new car models, and their discovery of Creaform’s technology, the MetraSCAN ...
Inspections are critical to ensure consistent product quality, primarily when relying on third-party suppliers or manufacturers for raw materials. Some businesses often consider inspection as a final quality check before the product gets delivered to the customer. If you have a similar approach, you may experience an increased number of product recalls. It is time you should have a fresh take on ...
When power plants conduct overhauls and ad hoc maintenance, scheduled inspections need to be carefully planned out to ensure that downtimes are kept to a minimum and that operations can resume to full capacity as quickly as possible. To accelerate inspection processes during overhauls, forward-thinking power plant maintenance teams are increasingly combining traditional ultrasonic testing ...
What are quality management systems? In order to determine the difference between quality assurance and quality control, it is important to understand two fundamental concepts. For one, many people think that quality assurance and quality control are inherently the same process; in fact, even manufacturers often use quality assurance and quality control interchangeably. However, as this article ...
Performing bad inspections and delivering defective parts are scenarios that manufacturing companies want to avoid imperatively. Therefore, they must detect anomalies before they become major defects and they must make corrective actions before defective parts are produced and shipped to customers. To do so, two types of inspection systems are available to ...
Quality checks and inspections are generally considered the simplest activities of quality management, but it is one of the most complicated and critical activities. It requires a combination of the right people and the right tools to perform the quality control job well. The foundation of quality inspections lies on the well-thought, streamlined, and standardized processes. Before you proceed ...
Why are automated quality control systems important for today’s manufacturers? More and more manufacturers are adopting automated quality control systems in order to detect issues before it is too late or to reduce quality control costs. Automated quality control systems also enhance overall product quality, increase throughput, mitigate obsolete and cumbersome manual inspections, and ...
