As the solder bump getting smaller in dimension and pitch, it becomes more difficult to inspect the solder defects hidden in the IC package. In this paper, an intelligent inspection method using the scanning acoustic microscopy(SAM) and the fuzzy C-means(FCM) algorithm was investigated. A flip chip package of FA10 was chosen as the test sample. The SAM tests of FA10 were carried out in C-scan mode. The sub-image of every solder bump was segmented from the SAM image. The statistical features were then calculated and adopted for clustering of solder bumps using the FCM algorithm. The recognition results of FCM reached a high accuracy of 94.3%. The intelligent system is effective for defect inspection in high density packages.展开更多
