New Nikon X-ray and CT Scanner
The CDTR is operating a new Nikon XTV 160 XT-ray and CT Scanner donated by Fasetto. This new tool supports CDTR’s research in electronics reliability, in particular device and PCB inspection for failure analysis. Professor Martin Kuball said “This will not only advance our research but also aid us in the training of the next generation of semiconductor device engineers, and is accessible to researchers across the School of Physics as well as throughout the university and external users."
