Application Note #1021 – Chip On Board (COB)
THRU-Scan Mode™ confirmation of Voids

Acoustic image of a COB revealing a darker area at the bottom edge which is a void
Sample & Method

This COB (also shown above) was imaged by THRU-Scan at an ultrasonic frequency of 15 MHz. THRU-Scan uses a second transducer positioned below the sample that collects ultrasound that has penetrated the entire thickness of the sample. In this sample, since the device was mounted on a board, ultrasound traveled through both the device and the board for imaging.

Result

The dark area along the bottom edge of the die is the void.
