OVERVIEW OF THE USE OF X-RAY EQUIPMENT IN ELECTRONICS QUALITY TESTS

Abstract

Surface-mount technology is now widely used in the production of many components. The development of the miniaturised electronics industry forces the development of increasingly accurate inspection methods. X-ray and computed tomography are methods to accurately assess the quality of a circuit board. The article discusses the basics of image formation of the tested electronics, the development of the design of the devices used and examples of x-ray, computed tomography applications.
