Abstract In this paper, we demonstrate cases for actual short and open failures in FCB (Flip Chip Bonding) substrates by using novel non-destructive techniques, known as SSM (Scanning Super-conducting Quantum Interference Device Microscopy) and Terahertz TDR (Time Domain Reflectometry) which is able to pinpoint failure locations. In addition, the defect location and accuracy is verified by a NIR (Near Infra-red) imaging system which is also one of the commonly used non-destructive failure analysis tools, and good agreement was made.

The detection of landmines has become a hard task to deal with because of the diversity of landmines and the complexity of minefield. The development of terahertz technologies has provided a feasible way to detect the buried landmines. Landmines’ shell is usually made of ceramics, plastics, even wood and so on, which terahertz wave could penetrate them easily. The explosives are the major part of landmines. Many types of explosives have the characteristic spectrum in terahertz range, so it would be an effective method to detect landmines by measuring the spectrum of explosives with terahertz time-domain spectroscopy.

Microwave-Induced Thermo-Acoustic Tomography (MITAT) own much concerns in recent years in biomedical imaging field. High contrast and resolution compared with conventional microwave or ultrasound imaging system especially for malignant tumors are outstanding characters of it. In this paper, the induced thermo-acoustic wave propagating in a mimic biologic tissue is simulated by numeric method Pseudo-Spectrum Time Domain (PSTD). Due to the excellent performance in noise-depress and the stability for the fluctuation of the model parameters, Time Reversal Mirror (TRM) imaging technique is studied computationally for the simulative received thermo-acoustic signals. Some thermo-acoustic objects with different initial pressure distribution are designed and imaged by TRM technique to represent the complex biologic tissue case in a random media. The quality of images generated by TRM technique based on PSTD method hints the potential of the MITAT technique.

We report the sensing and imaging of explosive related chemical and bio-chemical materials by using terahertz time domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) at standoff distance. The 0.82 THz absorption peak of RDX is observed at a distance up to 30 m away from the emitter and receiver. Multiple absorption features of RDX, 2,4-DNT and Glutamic Acid are identified by using a large scale 2-D imaging system. These results support the feasibility of using THz-TDS technique in remote sensing and detection of chemical materials.

Chinese lacquerware is an important invention of arts and crafts in China. In this study, Chinese lacquerware is characterized using terahertz reflectometric imaging. The lacquerware studied herein comprises an ornamental wood panel covered by multiple layers of lacquers to portray motifs. For characterizing lacquerware, a terahertz time-domain spectroscopic reflectometric imaging system is proposed. The role of the proposed terahertz imaging system in highlighting the interface between layers during stratigraphic buildup in reflection geometry is proved. The proposed system provides a universal method for assessing the structural information of lacquered objects in a contactless and non-invasive manner; moreover, it provides two-dimensional images, subsurface three-dimensional images, and stratigraphic images (b-scans) in a contactless and non-invasive manner. Using the proposed system, we examine the buried layers of the lacquerware, including faults in the wooden layer and damages in the lacquerware. Research shows the promising prospects of terahertz time-domain spectroscopic reflectometric imaging as a non-destructive detection technique suited to lacquerware.
