Multilayer circuit boards

In multilayer circuit board manufacturing, high-resolution X-ray technology is mainly used to determine the layer offset and minimum annular width. Oblique view X-ray images, by providing layer-by-layer visualization, allow detecting flaws and defects such as short circuits caused by etching or layout defects, defective conductor tracks and flawed via metallization.

	Measurement of layer offset and annular ring width using phoenix|x-rays’s image processing software „quality|assurance 2006”.
	Through-hole platings in oblique view at a detector angle of 50°. The connections of all 8 layers are clearly differentiable.
	Short circuit between two conductor tracks, located in the same spot, due to an etching defect.
	Defective plating of a through-hole in oblique view at a detector angle of 50°.
	Laser-drilled micro-via: Analysing wall thickness and drilling quality. Drilling diameter 150 µm.
