INEMI Launches Study of AOI Inspection for Fine Pitch Substrates Seeking Industry Participation
March 11, 2025 | iNEMIEstimated reading time: 1 minute
The fine lines and spaces of increasingly popular heterogeneous SiP packages, coupled with larger panel sizes and more substrate layers, demand increased capabilities from automated optical inspection (AOI) equipment to accurately detect, characterize and reject true defects without over-rejections. Finer trace widths and spaces will need better AOI optics that reduce the field of view and depth of focus while addressing warpage issues as well as organic panel shrinkage.
AOI Inspection and Measurement Study
Phase 4 of INEMI’s Panel Level Package Fine Pitch Substrate Inspection/Metrology Project was launched to characterize the current capabilities of AOI metrologies as well as to understand future trends for AOI measurement and inspection technologies. The project team has designed and fabricated a test vehicle and will be conducting a study to determine AOI inspection capabilities with the objective of identifying technical difficulties and gaps between current capabilities and user needs. Analysis will include the level of detectability by defect types and defect sizes.
This webinar will share information about test vehicle design and the testing plan. INEMI is looking for industry participation to help compile the data required for analysis. We are seeking input from test equipment manufacturers and substrate fabricators, along with package assembly companies and OEMs using advanced packaging technologies.
