"To accommodate the needs of electronics manufacturers, vision and X-ray inspection systems must offer higher resolution capability to examine the finer-pitch components and cross-sectional imaging of double-sided boards," says Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst Karthik Rajamani.

Moreover, with electronic devices using increasingly complex printed circuit boards (PCBs), there is a need for faster inspection throughput to verify all solder joints within a shorter manufacturing cycle.

 of end-use devices, it is crucial to use the latest technology to increase throughput and reduce overall time for final inspection.

The short life cycle of electronic goods makes it necessary to have a thorough inspection to maximize the output of the electronic devices.

With greater use of high-density boards with tiny components, there has been a consequent demand for automated optical inspection Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) is an automated visual inspection of PCB(or LCD,transistor manufacture) where a camera autonomously scans the device under test for both catastrophic failure (eg. missing component) and quality defects (eg.  (AOI AOI Area Of Interest

) systems with higher resolution and accuracy.

As the increasingly sophisticated end-use devices require rapid acquisition and processing of images, it is natural for inspection system companies to invest in the development of superior image processing image processing

"Many semiconductor manufacturers considering high-resolution X-ray inspection systems as an ideal solution for inspecting and analyzing the solder mass and hidden voids beneath the surface of a bump," notes Karthik Rajamani.

Very high-resolution image acquisition, together with fast processing and analysis, expects to be the leading driver for the adoption of vision inspection systems in the future. There is also a market preference for high-resolution line-scan and area scan sensors, and inspection system manufacturers are focusing on developing color image A (digital) color image is a digital image that includes color information for each pixel.

For visually acceptable results, it is necessary (and almost sufficient) to provide three samples (color channels
 processors.

All these technological advances, coupled with growth in end-user markets, such as the semiconductor industry, have led to the growth of vision and X-ray inspection systems.
