Phoenix|x-ray's new system nanome|x combines high-end X-ray technology with ergonomic, user-friendly design.

The developers at phoenix|x-ray made use of the year-long close co-operation with customers and their input from many fields of application while setting up the system in order to perfectly meet the requirements of today's non-destructive testing processes.
The system is targeting manufacturers of complex semiconductor devices and highly integrated electronic assemblies but can be used in the field of micromechanics and material testing as well.
The unique system comprises:
u High Power nanofocus Tube, that can be operated in four modes (four tubes in one) which cover the whole range from nanometre resolution to high-power radiation. In this way smallest defects in miniaturised assemblies like pad wetting failures in Flip Chip solder joints or cracks in bond wires with verified nanofocus resolution and detail detectability of 200 - 300nm (0.2 - 0.3microns) can be displayed. With the same tube it is possible though to radiate strongly absorbing materials like tungsten alloys in IC packages or injector nozzles which cannot be achieved with conventional submicron resolution X-ray tubes. The tube is infinitely variable to a high tension up to 160kV and power up to 50W.
* Super OVHM with Easy View Configuration (EVC) up to 70° for oblique views at highest magnification. The extended angle of inclination offers the zero escape analysis of the pad wetting and solder joint quality of BGAs, µBGAs, CGAs, and Flip Chips without tilting the sample, that means without loss of magnification.
* Fully digital image chain for the visualisation of weakly absorbing materials with enhanced contrast.
* Automated Inspection of BGA and QFP solder joints by a unique algorithm for the automated pad wetting analysis.
* Software for the automated backend inspection including automatic measurement and qualification of the bond wire sweep according to MIL-STD-883E quality assurance standard.
* Software for the automated die-attach voiding calculation following user defined standards.
* Ergonomic design for the seating or standing operation adjustable to all body sizes with optional left-handed outfit.
