Industry Application

Machine Vision For Semiconductor and IC

Character marking, pin geometry and wafer level defects on parts where the feature of interest is smaller than the tolerance you are allowed to miss.

Industry Pain Points

Why These Parts Are Hard To Image

  • IC surface characters are laser marked with very low contrast against the package.
  • Connector and QFP pin flatness has to be judged in three dimensions from a single view.
  • Ceramic packages crack in ways that only show up under the right angle of incidence.
  • Wafer level laser marks reflect specularly and wash out under ordinary front lighting.

Solution Process

How A Project Runs From Enquiry To Delivery

Send The Part And The Target

A photo of the part, the defect you need to catch, the field of view and the line speed.

Lighting And Optics Proposal

Our design engineers propose a lighting geometry, a lens format and a camera that hold together as one chain.

Sample Or Custom Build

Standard parts ship from catalogue. Custom lighting samples are normally provided within 10 working days.

Validation On Your Part

You prove the image on the real part. Where the geometry needs changing, the design is revised before volume.

Supply And Repeat Orders

Once the model is fixed, repeat orders reference the same model number and the same imaging result.

Delivery Capability

What We Commit To

  • More than 20 experienced customized design engineers for lighting and optics design.
  • Most customised products provided within two weeks.
  • Urgent customised demand shortened to around five days.
  • Customised lighting samples normally provided within 10 working days.
  • Most focal lenses shipped within three days.
  • Lending samples for test available on the telecentric line scan lens range.

FAQ

Semiconductor and IC FAQ

Which component range matters most for semiconductor and ic
Lighting usually decides whether the defect is visible at all, so it is the first thing to fix. The relevant ranges for this industry are led machine vision lights, telecentric lenses, focal lenses, area scan cameras.
Are these applications published or estimated
Published. Every task in the application list on this page is taken from the application notes for a specific SBS Vision product series.
Can the lighting be designed for our exact part
Yes. More than 20 lighting and optics design engineers work on customised builds. Most custom products are provided within two weeks and samples of customised lighting within 10 working days.
How do I start
Send a photo of the part and one sentence describing the defect through WhatsApp or email. A lighting geometry suggestion normally comes back on the same thread.
