The requested item is a non-destructive x-ray imaging system to test electronic components in order that the components can be inspected and documented without damage. The x-ray imaging system shall have the following salient characteristics and/or technical requirements: NON-DESTRUCTIVE X-RAY IMAGING SYSTEM: A non-destructive system to the electronic component under test so that 100 % of the components can be inspected and documented without damage. It must complete in real-time the determination of potential problems with components and determine counterfeits components. PASS/FAIL TESTING: It is critical that the x-ray system is capable of Pass/Fail automated reporting. Require software with capability to compare known good sample to test sample and provide autonomous pass/fail report that can be stored on a hard drive (archived) or printed into document format. INDIVIDUAL COMPONENT OR TAPE-AND-REEL TESTING: It is critical that the system is capable of automated testing of complete reels of electronic components without removing components from tape on reels. The x-ray inspection system will have hardware/fixtures that will allow for either tape-and-reels or individual component trays for testing. HIGH RESOLUTION: Capable of high resolution of 1 mil wire bonds with a field of view of 40 mm by 20 mm, 180 , inspection/comparison of known and unknown electronic components. Variable X-ray source is required to provide desired high resolution. SAFETY: Complete built-in safety interlocks and internal shielding such as the inspection system is used in typical electronics test lab without any structural or external shielding modifications being required for the above said electronics test lab. REAL-TIME INSPECTION: Associated imaging and comparison software that allows REAL-TIME inspection/verification of subject electronic components INSPECTION RECORDS: Inspection data storage capability that allows for creation of inspection records and component data archival. SELF CONTAINED SYSTEM: The system will be a self contained integrated circuit inspection system that requires no additional hardware/software components. This is with the exception of printers. Monitors, X-ray source, X-ray camera, processors, software, sample test fixtures should all be in one relatively self contained cart or work station or rack or table or something similar. Desired system would be self contained and not require any additional parts, equipment, cabling or other items. MAXIMUM EXPOSURE SAMPLE SIZE: Capable of a maximum sample size of no less than 10 inch by 20 inch component size. MINIMUM EXPOSURE SAMPLE SIZE: Capable of resolving (visualizing) of 1 mil wire bonds or less. SYSTEM INSTALLATION: X-ray inspection system to be installed by manufacture such that a fully operational, to include the reliable and safe system will be in place at the end of transaction. TRAINING: On-site training for approximately ten individual on actual X-ray inspection system purchased at a to be determined date and location. SOFTWARE: Require software with the ability to compare known good sample to test sample and provide autonomous pass/fail report that can be stored in archives or imported into a document. Software should be upgradable. Prefer windows 7 or above operating system for the x-ray inspection system. BALL GRID ARRAY (BGA) INSPECTION: Must be able to inspect BGA's to identify, measure and report voids in the BGA. Sensitivity of the void detection software will need to be adjustable in order to accommodate different types of BGA packages. TECHNICAL SUPPORT: Require technical support to be available for system; Monday to Friday and normal work hours (i.e. 9:00 to 17:00 mountain standard time). SYSTEM FOOT PRINT: The system will not exceed a floor footprint of 3 ft wide by 3.5 ft long, by 6 ft high. CALIBRATION: System must be able to be calibrated or adjusted at delivery location, under normal operating conditions, without being transported to external calibration facility. WARRANTY: At least one year warranty on parts of the total x-ray imaging system. DELIVERY TIME: 12 weeks or less from receipt of contract.
