Detecting nonuniformity in small welds and solder seams using optical correlation and electronic processing

Abstract

Using holographic matched filtering and electronic processing, small variations in surface displacement along the seam of a hermetic microcircuit package can be detected when the seam is stressed. Destructive analysis of a solder-sealed package reveals a strong correlation between optical signal variations and nonuniformity of solder adhesion and wetting along the seam. The technique promises potential application as a means of nondestructively inspecting for flaws in small welded or soldered seams.
