Package-On-Package (PoP) Assembly Validation
Verify Every Layer. Validate Every Connection. Stack with Confidence.
Verify Every Layer. Validate Every Connection. Stack with Confidence.
Package-on-Package (PoP) is central to high-density mobile and consumer electronics, allowing multiple dies to be vertically integrated. But even the slightest vertical misalignment, offset solder balls, or warpage can lead to latent electrical failures that are hard to catch during final testing.
AI-powered PoP Assembly Validation uses advanced computer vision systems to inspect stacked die alignment, verify solder ball contact, and confirm Z-axis symmetry before the final reflow step. These inspections ensure mechanical integrity, electrical continuity, and proper height uniformity across units.
Even a slight X-Y or rotational offset between the top and bottom packages can compromise interconnects.
Incomplete, tilted, or shifted ball contacts often go undetected until after reflow or in final test.
Mechanical stress during stacking can deform the top die, leading to contact failure or packaging instability.
Manual or 2D inspection can’t detect vertical skew or stack height irregularities, which are critical in PoP.
Captures vertical alignment, height, and planarity using stereo or laser triangulation imaging.
AI verifies the concentricity and location of each solder ball against landing pads across layers.
Detects bowing, tilt, or sagging in the top die pre-reflow, reducing latent defect risks.
Assigns assembly units into pass/fail/rework bins based on deviation from set tolerances.
We begin by identifying the optimal point for PoP validation, usually after top package placement but before reflow. Fixture mapping includes robotic arm paths and hold time.
Combining top-down visual inspection with structured light or laser triangulation systems, we capture full X-Y-Z data of the stacked unit in motion.
Training includes past examples of vertical tilt, side-shift, solder ball misalignment, and package deformation, enabling the model to distinguish between acceptable and critical faults.
Each inspected unit is tagged with height maps and alignment metrics. Results are pushed into the MES for traceability, and robotic sorters are triggered to route the unit based on tolerance bins (pass/rework/fail).

Collaboration creates a story. Some are born from timing, others from shared ambition. But the partnership between WebOccult and Deeper-i began from something subtler, a mutual belief that intelligence should live closer to the world it serves. For years, Vision AI has been mastering the art of seeing, while Edge AI has been perfecting the […]

Any object that leaves a factory belt carries an identity. It may appear as a string of numbers etched into metal, a barcode printed on paper, or a label attached to packaging or glass material. Together, these small symbols form the nervous system of modern industry. They track movement, record responsibility, and ensure that everything […]

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 […]
