Using Scanning Acoustic Microscopy the integrated circuit shown beside can be penetrated by sound waves and observed non destructive. To get detailed information of internal structures, different imaging or scan modes are applied which are shown on the following pages. All example pictures were taken at the same integrated circuit.
