AOI For PCB Modules In Semiconductor Packaging

Ensure Perfect Boards Before Final Assembly. Automate Inspection. Assure Reliability.

AOI FOR PCB MODULES IN SEMICONDUCTOR PACKAGING

CATCH SOLDER DEFECTS. DETECT MISALIGNMENTS. AUTOMATE PCB ASSURANCE.

AOI FOR PCB MODULES IN SEMICONDUCTOR PACKAGING 2

In semiconductor packaging, printed circuit boards (PCBs) form the structural and electrical base for advanced modules like SiPs (System-in-Package), PoP (Package-on-Package), and MCMs (Multi-Chip Modules). Faults in PCB assembly, like solder bridging, missing components, or misalignments, can introduce latent defects that pass undetected into critical applications.

AI-powered Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) systems scan each PCB for visual anomalies using high-speed cameras and deep learning models. These systems detect opens, shorts, solder joint irregularities, and missing or misplaced components, ensuring only fully functional modules proceed to final packaging or shipment.

OUR HOLISTIC VIEW TO CHALLENGES & FEATURES

Challenges

Hidden Solder & Open Circuit Defects

Hidden Solder & Open Circuit Defects

Visual faults like cold solder, lifted leads, or hidden shorts can go undetected without automated inspection.

Inconsistent Manual Inspection

Inconsistent Manual Inspection

Human error increases under high volume and density, especially for fine-pitch BGA and SMT components.

Component Placement Irregularities

Component Placement Irregularities

Slight component rotation, tilt, or offset can cause functional failure post-reflow or during final testing.

Delayed Fault Discovery

Delayed Fault Discovery

Defects caught late in final test or burn-in increase cost of scrap or rework at the final stage.

Features

Multi-Angle Component Imaging

Multi-Angle Component Imaging

Captures PCBs from multiple angles to assess placement, alignment, and solder quality in real-time.

Solder Joint Analysis with AI Models

Solder Joint Analysis with AI Models

Deep learning identifies cold joints, insufficient solder, bridging, and tombstoning with high accuracy.

Automated Component Presence Verification

Automated Component Presence Verification

Confirms correct part number, polarity, and presence using OCR and pattern-matching across densely populated PCBs.

Identification

BGA and Hidden Pad Coverage

Uses advanced light modeling or X-ray assisted AOI for partially hidden joints in high-density boards.

WHO BENEFITS FROM AOI FOR SEMICONDUCTOR MODULES?

AOI FOR PCB MODULES IN SEMICONDUCTOR PACKAGING 3
  • PCB Assembly Operators – Catch assembly errors early and reduce first-pass test failures.
  • Quality Control Teams – Automate pass/fail decisions and generate defect heatmaps for faster RCA.
  • Packaging Engineers – Ensure that modules receive defect-free boards for final encapsulation.
  • EMS Providers – Meet strict OEM reliability requirements with AI-driven inspection data.

BUILDING AND DEPLOYING PROCESS

AOI FOR PCB MODULES IN SEMICONDUCTOR PACKAGING 4
AOI Zone Integration & Conveyor Mapping

AOI Zone Integration & Conveyor Mapping

We begin by integrating the AOI unit between reflow oven exit and ICT/test stations. Conveyor speed, tray types, and PCB dimensions are mapped for optimized imaging cadence.

High-Speed Multi-Camera Setup

High-Speed Multi-Camera Setup

AOI hardware includes top, angled, and oblique-view cameras with adjustable lighting modules to eliminate reflections and shadows from solder joints.

AI Training with PCB-Specific Defect Library

AI Training with PCB-Specific Defect Library

Our team trains a defect model using annotated images from your specific board layouts, component placements, pad shapes, stencil types, and defect types.

Real-Time Feedback Loop with MES & SMT Line

Real-Time Feedback Loop with MES & SMT Line

Inspection results are streamed directly to your MES or line controller. Defective PCBs can be auto-routed to rework lanes, while analytics dashboards log recurring fault patterns by station or shift.

The Technical Anatomy of a Parking Twin

Every city breathes in patterns. Cars move, pause, and disperse in a rhythm that repeats itself through hours and seasons. Beneath this rhythm lies a kind of language, the pulse of motion that defines how urban life organizes itself. Yet, for all the technology that has reshaped cities, one of the simplest and most visible […]
