Automated optical inspection (AOI) is a cornerstone in semiconductor manufacturing, assembly and testing facilities, and as such, it plays a crucial role in yield management and process control.

Researchers have developed a new method for detecting defects in additively manufactured components. Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have developed a new method for ...

Machine learning (ML) has emerged as a powerful tool for studying the properties of condensed matter. To date, most research has focused on the bulk properties of solids, however, defects are ...

Structural defects that form during additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, are a barrier to some applications of this technology. Researchers used diagnostic tools and machine learning to ...

Longitudinal (top) and axial (middle) images of X-Ray CT data of parts with 6 internal defects: a spherical clog, a stellated shaped clog, a cone shaped void, a blob shaped void, an elliptical warp of ...
