Abstract

AOI (automatic optical inspection), a proven technology that has gained recognition as substantially improving the production yield of MCMs (multichip modules), is based on sophisticated image processing techniques using advanced software algorithms with state-of-the-art hardware. AOI technology is described here with respect to detection methods, resolution, speed, versatility, and accuracy. Attention is also given to the benefits of AOI, including yield increase, long-term reliability, scrap savings, and process control.<>
