Industrial solution

Semiconductor & Substrates

Wafer, package and bonding through to PCBA, FPC and FC-BGA.

Semiconductor & Substrates — representative inspection subject

Semiconductor packaging is fine-pitch work with complex defect modes, so inspection has to be both precise and fast. Substrates keep shrinking and densifying, and conventional AOI can no longer hold down over- and under-detection. DSTEK combines 2D/3D imaging, multi-colour multi-angle strobe capture and a PCB-specific industrial AI model to cover everything from the wafer to the assembled board.

  • Over 50Compatible product types
  • 1μmMeasurement precision
  • 20+FPC defect types

Scope

What we inspect

  • Wafer

    Bump height, diameter, pitch and coplanarity; surface scratches, contamination and foreign matter

  • BGA / QFP / QFN

    Solder ball height, pitch and coplanarity; missing balls, cracks, bridging; lead skew and coplanarity

  • Wire bonding

    Wire and pad offset, loop faults, sagging, lifting; bridging, missing and double bonds

  • PCBA

    Insufficient and excess solder, bridging, cold joints and voids quantified at pixel level; wrong, missing and reversed parts

  • FPC / FPCA

    Creases, folds, gold-finger curvature, plating bridges, exposed copper, tears — 20+ defect types

  • FC-BGA

    Contamination, scratches, pits, bubbles, white spots and hole defects; ring width and bonding pad dimensions

Applications

Representative inspection tasks

A selection of what we have actually run on the line — not the full list. New inspection targets are approached the same way.

  • Wafer appearance inspection

    Dicing anomalies, pad protrusion, defects and scratches, edge damage, delamination, chip residue, emitting-area defects

  • Chip appearance and dimensions

    Contamination, spots, damage, corner defects, foreign matter, missing parts, misalignment, counting

  • SMT solder joint inspection

    Insufficient solder, excess solder, bridging and shorts, cold joints, voids

  • Lead frame inspection

    QFN plated silver and copper surfaces — staining, yellowing, discolouration, silver leakage, under- and over-etching

  • Capacitor inspection

    Polarity reversal, mixed capacitance, unclear sleeve marking, aluminium case deformation

  • MLCC appearance inspection

    Six-sided cracks, chipping, contamination and electrode defects

  • Inductor six-sided AOI

    Dents, cracks, warping, gaps, contamination, grit, burrs, bubbles, colour non-uniformity

  • LED lamp bead inspection

    Excess and insufficient adhesive, bubbles, cracks and scratches on the bond line, pin deformation and absence

  • Precision resistor inspection

    Base contamination, silver leakage, insufficient silver on the top face

  • Connector appearance inspection

    Male and female connector solder defects and joint offset
