Semiconductors are essential components that are the foundation of electronic devices. Accurate inspections are performed after each process step to ensure product quality. Maintaining high standards is essential to achieving variability and defectivity control. Thus, the manufacturers can meet necessary reliability and performance regulations, especially as the size of electronic and optical devices continues to shrink.…
Bright or Dark Field Lighting in applications One of the key components of machine vision imaging is determining what kind of lighting is optimal for your set-up to achieve the best light-dark contrast; bright field lighting or dark field lighting. Bright field is the more commonly used lighting technique whereas dark field is advantageous when…
As manufacturers of display modules strive to improve product dependability, production yield, and throughput while also minimizing defects, there is a consistent need for increased display inspection accuracy. New demands for inspection calibration requirements for display modules require simultaneous improvements to obtain: Higher resolution (over previous 25MP cameras) Accuracy in a range of temperatures…
Adimec CoaXPress Video Are you looking to extend cable length, increase throughput or decrease costs for your imaging system this year? CoaXPress (CXP) is a digital interface standard for the transmission of high-speed data from a single camera to a host, such as a frame grabber in a PC, using a single standard coaxial…
Despite the challenges of the global pandemic and resulting economic downturn, the worldwide demand for chips continues to increase, the industry’s growth is expected to continue into 2022. IDC (International Data Corporation) predicts the semiconductor market will reach $600 billion by 2025. With the rise in demand for semiconductors, the use of in-line inspection and…

While there are many viable alternatives to Image Intensifier CCD RIUs (II-CCD RIUs), Indium Gallium Zinc Oxide (IGZO) flat panel detectors offer an interesting and promising option as a replacement. These panels could offer an ideal mix of performance versus cost, especially in larger panel options. With existing factories switching to IGZO panel production,…
As discussed in the first blog in this three-part series, key factory shutdowns and general shifts in the X-Ray imaging market have lead to Image Intensifier (II)-CCD RIUs going obsolete. As CCD obsolescence becomes more prevalent in Healthcare and the dynamic imaging X-Ray market, the need to find alternatives is imminent. There are three flat…
With major producers of CCD’s shutting down manufacturing factories, the gradual shift away from CCD Radiology Imaging Units (RIU’s) has been rapidly sped up and obsolescence of these units is imminent. CCD image sensors are a key component of camera lens assemblies that, together with an image intensifier, forms an RIU used for x-ray…
