Event Overview:

Contamination remains one of the most common and costly causes of failure in electronic assemblies yet locating the responsible particle or residue on a densely packed assembly can take hours of manual searching. Using a disassembled smartphone as a test case, this webinar shows how the Spotlight Aurora-I next generation micro-FTIR imaging system uses a wide-field camera to cut target-finding time from hours to second.

Point mode micro-ATR then identifies particles around 20 µm in size directly on the assembly, without picking up or transferring the particle, while reflectance imaging maps the distribution of contamination across multiple metal contacts. The same approach applies to automotive electronics, medical devices, aerospace avionics, and semiconductor packaging, giving failure analysis and QA teams a faster path toward root cause.

Key Learning Objectives

• Cut target-finding time from hours to seconds with the dual camera system
• Acquire high-quality, non-destructive spectra in point-mode micro-ATR
• Analyze complex, multi-component contamination efficiently by IR imaging

Who Should Attend

• Material Engineering / R&D departments at industrial and commercial organizations
• Researchers at public (government) and private (higher education) research institutes
