D 9650 C-SAM Acoustic
What it is
The Nordson D 9650 C-SAM Acoustic is an acoustic microscope used for metrology and inspection.[2]
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedAn acoustic microscope uses high-frequency sound to form images from differences in acoustic response within a sample.
A C-SAM system typically couples sound into a part through a liquid medium and scans the part to reveal internal features, interfaces, and delamination that are not visible in ordinary optical inspection.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedA C-SAM acoustic microscope sits in metrology and inspection rather than in direct wafer fabrication.
A C-SAM acoustic microscope is commonly used after assembly, bonding, encapsulation, or other packaging operations when internal integrity and hidden defects need to be evaluated.
Applications
General reference — not yet source-verifiedA C-SAM acoustic microscope is used to inspect internal structures, bonded interfaces, and package integrity in semiconductor and related microelectronic assemblies.
