I-Connect007 is pleased to announce the release of an 18-page resource for engineers, technologists, and decision-makers in electronics manufacturing: The Companion Guide to SMT Inspection: Today, Tomorrow, and Beyond: Mastering Metrology for Advanced Semiconductor Packages.
As the industry advances toward increasingly compact and high-performance devices, the demand for precise inspection has never been greater. This downloadable guide explores the pivotal role of metrology in advanced semiconductor packaging, offering expert insights into why True3D inspection is essential, how Koh Young’s advanced metrology platforms are redefining accuracy, and what the future of dimensional measurement holds for technologies such as System-in-Package (SiP), Fan-out Wafer-Level Packaging (FOWLP), and 3D stacked dies.
Key topics covered include:
- The evolution of SMT and semiconductor inspection
- Precision solder and flux inspection with the Meister S and S+
- Die- and component-level analysis with the Meister D and D+
- AI-powered wafer-level metrology with ZenStar
- Flux and underfill inspection with Neptune C+
- Bridging SMT and semiconductor QA with the Zenith series
- Smart factory integration and the future of dimensional metrology
“With advanced packaging driving the next wave of electronics innovation, accurate measurement is the foundation for ensuring connectivity, reliability, and long-term performance,” said author Brent Fischthal. “This guide is designed to help process engineers and manufacturers understand the inspection challenges they face today—and prepare for those just around the corner.”
The Companion Guide to… SMT Inspection: Today, Tomorrow, and Beyond: Mastering Metrology for Advanced Semiconductor Packages is available now as a free download on the I-Connect007 platform.

Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Revamp Your Components with BGA Reballing
10/14/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileBall grid array (BGA) components evolved from pin grid array (PGA) devices, carrying over many of the same electrical benefits while introducing a more compact and efficient interconnect format. Instead of discrete leads, BGAs rely on solder balls on the underside of the package to connect to the PCB. In some advanced designs, solder balls are on both the PCB and the BGA package. In stacked configurations, such as package-on-package (PoP), these solder balls also interconnect multiple packages, enabling higher functionality in a smaller footprint.
