What is a TAMI image?
When setting up an inspection the first time, it is often necessary to experiment with ultrasonic parameters including gate position and focus. To refine the technique can involve a time-consuming and tedious process of scanning, changing gate position, rescanning, comparing results, etc. Many inspections require separate images representing different depths within the component (e.g. top of the die and die attach, underfill and solder ball, etc.). This can require multiple scans, with the data gate repositioned for each scan. Sonix’s unique Tomographic Acoustic Multiple Imaging (TAMI) system collects multiple images simultaneously in a single scan, using a different data gate for each image. The user examines the images to identify those that best provide the desired results. This information can then be used to set the gate up for a standard single-gate scan for future production use. Or, you can continue to use TAMI as the standard operating mode. Note that some TAMI images are not
