Ultrasonic testing

Non-destructive ultrasonic testing for semiconductors and technical components

The ultrasound examination enables the non-destructive examination of components and material structures. High-frequency ultrasound allows the detection of internal structures, material boundaries, and defects that are not visible from the outside.

Our ultrasound testing systems are particularly suitable for testing Semiconductors, power electronics, electronic packages, ceramic substrates, and water-cooled components.

Depending on the test task, different test heads, frequencies, and scanning methods can be used. This allows internal defects to be located, analyzed, and represented in a visual way.

Typical applications

Semiconductors and IC Packages

Inspection of housings, bond and material layers for delaminations and defects

IGBT and SiC power modules

Inspection of seam connections, solder joints, and thermally stressed areas

DBC and ceramic substrates

Detection of detachments, voids, and structural irregularities

MLCC and electronic components

Investigation of internal structures and material connections

MEMS and sensors

Non-destructive analysis of sensitive multilayer structures

Flip-Chip Packages

Control of connections and interfaces within the package

Liquid-cooled Cold Plates

Examination of internal structures, gaps, and possible manufacturing defects
