First separate pre-stress RDL via resistance from measurement parasitics, then use targeted openings and contact interfaces to determine cleaning or seed comparisons.
RDL interlayer via bottoms and metal contacts · Initial electrical verification after RDL fabrication
First localize voids / seams in the microvia copper body before assembly, then compare pretreatment and electroplating histories by via geometry and location distribution.
Interior of electroplated copper in organic-substrate microvias · After copper-fill fabrication and before assembly
Pre-bond surface readiness and release for hybrid bonding
Compile traceable evidence for release, rework or hold using the process’s own pre-bond window, multiscale topography, particle-inspection coverage and surface-chemistry/wait-time records.
Unbonded Cu/dielectric surfaces · After CMP, cleaning and activation, before bonding
Use depth-resolved copper distributions in deep silicon vias to separate seed/wetting comparisons from bath/flow comparisons. Retain later reveal and bond-interface issues separately.

Know the problem scope? Explore six technology directions
Technology directions help you explore methods. They do not establish a standard solution or sample suitability.
Before you get started
What will I get from Navigator?
Explore technical paths and candidates related to an engineering problem. Compare intended uses, applicability and sources, identify missing information and key questions, and download an assessment preparation summary. These outputs help you prepare your next technical assessment. Applicability still requires samples, measurements and supplier confirmation.
You can browse engineering problems, suppliers and solutions, and compare solutions without signing in. Sign in to save cloud copies of cases, view account-linked inquiry history, claim a supplier company, propose updates or reply with supplier authorization. Supplier permissions also require a reviewed claim or an owner invitation.
How are solutions compiled? Are candidates recommendations?
The supplier catalog is compiled from public sources. Problem-specific candidates include context for the problem, structure and stage. A listing or candidate does not establish verified applicability, supplier endorsement or a purchasing recommendation. Read the sources and limitations together, then confirm your conditions with the supplier.
