QuantumDiamonds GmbH (QD) has demonstrated a novel method for imaging electrical current inside a semiconductor structure without making physical contact with it. The technique removes the constraint that has kept quantum-sensing based current imaging inside the failure analysis lab and marks the foundational step on QD’s path toward inline inspection in high-volume manufacturing.

Vision AI has established itself as a field-proven technology for industrial quality assurance. Rather than relying exclusively on rigid, rule-based image-processing algorithms, Deep Learning enables inspection systems to learn from image data and identify the characteristics that distinguish good components from defective ones.

Overview recently launched OV Auto-Defect Creator Studio, a generative AI tool that creates photorealistic synthetic defects on user-supplied images of real manufacturing parts. The tool addresses what has long been the largest bottleneck in deploying AI inspection systems on production lines: the time and cost of collecting enough labeled defect data to train a reliable model.

When production systems are cleaned using high-pressure jets, operate in dusty environments or are exposed to sub-zero temperatures, particularly robust machine vision solutions are required. The uEye FA series from IDS Imaging Development Systems GmbH has been specifically designed for such demanding environments, featuring IP69K protection.
