ZEISS DeepRecon
Faster 3D X-ray imaging throughput and superior imaging quality
for advanced package analysis
ZEISS DeepRecon is the first commercially available deep learning
reconstruction technology in the 3D X-ray imaging market.
Intended for applications that repeatedly analyze the same or similar sample
types, DeepRecon enables faster 3D X-ray scans while preserving ZEISS’s
revolutionary Resolution at a Distance (RaaD) and image quality advantages.
Faster Throughput by up to 4X
Rapid structural and failure analysis (FA) aids fast product introductions and
high customer satisfaction levels. Shrinking package interconnects, higher
packing densities, and increasing package sizes result in smaller, more
difficult-to-find defects and longer analysis times. DeepRecon enables faster
high-resolution, high-quality 3D X-ray image acquisition for repetitive
workflows used in process development and quality control. Up to 4X faster
throughput is possible by leveraging deep learning networks customized per
package type. The result is faster time to results and ability to increase
sampling rates – all
achieved without increasing the radiation dose to the sample.
Better Image Quality
High image contrast, high resolution, and high signal-to-noise ratios (SNR) are needed to produce the highest quality images for improved visualization of defects and small or low-contrast features. To achieve a high SNR using standard reconstruction techniques, higher exposure times and/or projections are generally required, which can significantly impact throughput. DeepRecon offers a statistically improved SNR, providing superior image quality. DeepRecon also reduces image artifacts that are typically inherent in faster imaging processes.
Customized, Optimal Performance
DeepRecon is a workstation-based option offered as a special customer solution
for
ZEISS Xradia Versa X-ray microscopes (XRM) and Context microCT instruments.
Network models are created per sample “class” and can be tailored to precisely
fit targeted repetitive applications, enabling an ideal balance of image
quality and throughput. Available for new or existing systems, the DeepRecon
option uniquely opens opportunities in big data generated by 3D X-ray and
provides significant AI-driven speed or image quality improvement.
DeepRecon is offered via the unique Advanced Reconstruction Toolbox for ZEISS Xradia 3D X-ray systems.
DeepRecon for
repetitive workflows: 4X faster scan speeds for semiconductor
packages
Smartphone package: DeepRecon enables tuning
parameters for speed or image quality depending on the goals of the analysis.
Tremendous speed advantages can be realized for larger features, and even fine
features can be analyzed with a good ratio of image quality to speed.
About ZEISS Xradia X-ray Imaging Solutions
ZEISS provides innovative X-ray hardware and software to meet the following challenges:
- Achieving the right ratio of resolution versus throughput (application and sample dependent)
- Achieving scan speeds as required for the full workflow (application and sample dependent)
- Visualizing submicron defects in large structures without the need for sample preparation and with a large FOV (i.e. to enable visualization of 100 nm diameter cracks within an intact 100 μm C4 bu mp)
- Visualizing defects and structures as interconnect pitch drops below 10 μm
- Mitigating beam hardening and other X-ray artifacts
- Minimizing dose (due to device radiation concerns)
ZEISS continuously develops new solutions to solve these challenges for
semiconductor package analysis and FA applications. ZEISS offers unprecedented
system extendibility with field conversion options and various u pgrades like
DeepRecon to protect your investment.
