The Gen6™ C-Mode Scanning Acoustic Microscope is the new generation in Acoustic Microscopy Imaging (AMI) innovation. While taking the best from the Gen5™ (e.g.: its cutting-edge technology, advanced features, aesthetics, and ergonomics), the Gen6 improves upon the rest and takes acoustic imaging to the next level. The Gen6 delivers the broadest range of capabilities available. Whether your needs are for nondestructive failure analysis, process development, R&D, High-Rel qualification for a military application, or low/medium volume screening, the Gen6 is the one C-SAM system that can meet all of your demands. Gen6 is perfect for a variety of applications, such as; Microelectronics, MEMS, SSL LEDs, Power Modules, Solar, HighTech materials, etc. Advanced Sonoscan® capabilities such as PolyGate™, SonoSimulator™, Virtual Rescanning Mode (VRM)™, and optional Frequency Domain Imaging (FDI)™ add value and confidence. With its large, easyaccess, illuminated scanning area, the Gen6 has the capability to efficiently scan everything from a single part, to a 300mm wafer, with its tower referenced scan and fixtures.
