Abstract :
The authors present the physical principles of the scanning acoustic microscope and demonstrate its suitability for the observation of hybrid technology samples. Ink composition, adhesion of the layers, and faults in the substrate, in the bulk, or through serigraphed layers (100 to 1000 MHz) have been successfully investigated. The type of lenses necessary to satisfy the varied needs inherent in hybrid technology are determined.<>
