Lab Services

Acoustic Microscopy is unparalleled in its ability to detect delaminations, voids, cracks and other anomalies in packages non-destructively. Not always is it cost effective to purchase a system when only temporary or small volume inspections are needed. Let the Sonix' Applications Lab evaluate your packages and provide you with detailed applications reports that diagnose your package problems.

The Sonix' Applications Laboratory (PDF) is a full service contract lab which provides acoustic microscopy inspection services. With 6 application labs located in England, Washington DC, San Jose, Malaysia, South Korea and Japan overnight service is available. Each lab employs state-of-the-art scanning acoustic microscopes (SAM) and utilizes advanced diagnostic techniques, such as ICEBERG™ and TAMI™ Scan, to non-destructively view internal anomalies in microelectronic packages. The contract lab services include failure analysis, new package qualification, production sampling and more.

The contract lab services are performed by highly skilled applications engineers who diagnose internal defects in packages. Detailed reports are generated that display ultrasonic images, identify the package's failure mode(s), internal bond characteristics and internal package defects. The applications report also provides ultrasonic theory, a summary of the scanning techniques used, and parameter files.

Contract lab services can be performed at any of our worldwide Sonix offices. Sonix customers sometimes offer outside testing services on a contract basis. These affiliated labs offer a variety of services.
