SonoFlex Acoustic Inspection System Targets Chip Packaging Voids

Nordson Test & Inspection's SonoFlex inspects small-panel semiconductor packaging at up to twice the speed of conventional systems.

Back-end semiconductor manufacturers inspecting small-panel packages need faster, more accurate ways to catch voids, cracks, and delamination without slowing production. The SonoFlex acoustic microscopy inspection system addresses this with ThruScan imaging and AI-powered analytics built for small-panel applications, debuting at SEMICON West 2026.

Advanced pulser and transducer technology allow scanning speeds up to 2x faster than conventional acoustic inspection systems, with a max imaging speed of 3.28 lines/s and max velocity of 5.9 ft/s (1.8 m/s). The system's modular architecture simplifies maintenance and serviceability, and scalable multi-system configurations can increase throughput by up to 8x.

FlexCore software, paired with Multi-Gate Image Analysis (MGIA), automatically identifies defects and isolates true void counts, supporting complex device and process analysis for deeper insight into production quality.
