For “Initial die-attach voids and incomplete coverage”, add details that may change the assessment order and check the basis and limits of each candidate.
Engineering conditions
First confirm that voids or coverage gaps are in the bondline beneath the die before cycling, then separate solder / adhesive delivery from the material-specific attachment history. Solder outgassing cannot substitute for conductive-adhesive curing. Unknowns remain unconfirmed. “Evaluable” means only that the method has complete inputs; it does not establish diagnosis or qualification.

The order changes only with conditions you confirm. Public information cannot establish suitability for your actual samples.
After one round of comparisons, choose the next step based on actual observations.
Results only change the order of the next investigation; they do not modify condition answers, prove a root cause, or qualify a solution.

Confirm with the supplier Confirm grade, size/hardness, surface treatment and compatibility with representative attachment specimens.The official page identifies integrated dicing/die attachment and separate EM lineups, not validated void levels or reliability for this package.
Limit: Scope and limitations Curing requirements differ by grade. This is neither underfill nor temporary bonding material, and does not guarantee void-free assembly.

Confirm with the supplier Confirm grade, curing, storage, compatibility and evaluation on the actual assembly.The official page describes transducers, optional imaging features and sample analysis, not detection or cause-identification results for this attach stack.

Confirm with the supplier Confirm transducer, frequency, target interface/gates and required options. Trial the actual stack and correlate with cross-sections to establish accessible interfaces, detection limits and localization repeatability.The official page and brochure describe process controls, modules and options, not this sample’s void results.

These are not CT defect-resolution figures.
Limit: Scope and limitations Minimum focal spot size does not establish the smallest detectable defect; voltage, power and spot size also depend on the target. Absorption, magnification and image noise affect results, so fine-pitch bump defect detection cannot be assumed. What to prepare BLNKK suggests preparing sample dimensions, material stacks, regions and defect sizes of interest, plus an acceptable scan time. Known-good and faulty specimens can help assess images and interpretation. Confirm with the supplier Confirm demonstrated sample image quality, defect acceptance criteria, target/detector configuration, and the included analysis, calibration and automation functions.The product page documents micro3Dslice laminography, CT, void analysis and semiconductor applications, and describes submicron detail recognition. These supplier descriptions do not establish detection yield or production throughput for a specific package.
Limit: Scope and limitations Visibility depends on materials, thickness, overlapping geometry and scan configuration. Submicron detail recognition is not a universal detectable-defect specification, and images alone do not establish joint strength or the cause of void formation. What to prepare BLNKK recommends bringing the package stack, joint materials and thicknesses, target defect locations/sizes, and reference and suspect samples. Include acceptable scan time and existing sectioning or imaging results to plan validation. Confirm with the supplier Confirm the X-ray tube, CT/laminography and VoidInspect configuration, then validate resolution, void criteria and radiation dose on samples. Distinguish sample capacity, actual imaging coverage and inspection throughput.The system page lists Class 10 cleanroom operation, multilayer inspection and defects including voids, delamination, inclusions and thickness variation. The SAM technology page explains coupling and depth/resolution tradeoffs; neither qualifies detection performance for a particular panel.
Limit: Scope and limitations Coupling, material attenuation, specimen thickness and interface depth affect visibility. Higher frequency does not ensure better detection of every deep defect, and acoustic contrast cannot directly establish joint strength. What to prepare BLNKK recommends preparing panel dimensions, the material stack, target interface depths and defect locations, plus reference and suspect samples. Include coupling-medium compatibility, acceptable scan time and available sectioning results. Confirm with the supplier Confirm holders, dimensions, transducer frequency, depth gating and supported scan modes, then validate interpretation on samples.

Equipment capability does not establish a void-detection guarantee for a particular package.
Limit: Scope and limitations CT morphology does not directly measure interface adhesion strength; absorption and reconstruction artifacts can affect void interpretation. Confirm dual-tube, metrology and scan coverage against the current equipment configuration. What to prepare BLNKK suggests preparing attach material, thickness and surrounding stacks, suspected locations and void sizes, plus acceptable scan conditions. Known reference or cross-section data can help evaluate image interpretation. Confirm with the supplier Confirm the current S Neo model/options, demonstrated sample detectability and image criteria, and the scope of raw projections/reconstructions, analysis software and calibration documentation.The September 2021 release verifies launch; current pages describe processes/options, with heating-module compatibility requiring confirmation.

What to prepare BLNKK suggests preparing geometry, metallization, materials, dispensing and temperature/pressure histories, plus void, bondline and strength targets. Confirm with the supplier Confirm tooling/material compatibility, heat/force options, 3880-II pulsed-heat configuration and logging, then plan imaging and reliability trials.The product page and Revision 2.3.0 flyer describe alignment, process logging and module options. The separate technical-data download was unavailable.
Limit: Scope and limitations Modules are configuration-dependent. Placement accuracy does not establish bonded accuracy or production throughput; optical observation does not inspect buried voids.

Confirm with the supplier Confirm modules, fixtures, atmosphere and manual/automatic operation scope. Request current accuracy definitions, thermal-expansion compensation and validated process-transfer conditions.The product/porosity pages list global porosity, individual pore location/volume/shape and ROI analysis. A July 1, 2026 announcement describes version 2026.2 and the edition portfolio; the product page states that Fast mode runs without full quantification.
Limit: Scope and limitations Metal artifacts, noise, contrast and segmentation choices affect results; voxel size is not actual defect resolution. Fast-mode voxel counts do not replace full quantitative evaluation. Results need checks against reference specimens or complementary methods. What to prepare BLNKK suggests preparing voxel and actual resolution/contrast information, reconstruction/artifact conditions, bond-layer ROIs, segmentation settings, target defect sizes and reference cross-sections, while retaining version and workflow records. Confirm with the supplier Confirm edition/licensing, quantitative porosity and batch features, formats and computing resources, plus algorithm selection/validation for multi-material data. Confirm Fast-mode limitations when quantitative results are required.Mycronic/MRSI lists multi-die/process assembly and distinguishes alignment modes from the high-force option.
Limit: Scope and limitations Placement accuracy is not bonded-part yield or void fraction. Photonics assembly does not establish active fiber alignment. What to prepare BLNKK suggests dies/carriers, alignment budget, bonding materials/delivery, heat/force/dwell conditions and void maps. Confirm with the supplier Confirm modules, force/heating and delivery configuration, then evaluate post-bond shift, voids and cycle time on representative specimens.Before assessment
