Application study · Semiconductor inspectionChip circuits: compare1050 and1300 nm to expose useful internal detail
The source1300 nm fibre-light capture reveals a structured circuit pattern that is far less visible in its1050 nm comparison. The result illustrates spectral visibility, not a qualified test of hidden electrical defects.
Revealing structure is a prerequisite, not a hidden-defect result.

Proposed component
MV-CI013-GS-NN
Proposed Hikrobot InGaAs camera: 1280 × 1024, 5 µm pixels, C-mount and specified spectral response 0.4–1.7 µm. The source does not identify its camera.
Proposed component
LS-KF2514M-5MP-NIR-V2
25 mm F1.4 SWIR lens, C-mount, coating specified for 900–1700 nm. Printed minimum object distance is 0.38 m; the proposed scene uses 400 mm from the lens front. Its field and spacing are illustrative, not a claimed printed magnification/working-distance pair.
Proposed component
LS-3FT100100-SWIR
Proposed1300 nm panel for a separate transmission trial; source used a fibre-light arrangement, so this substitution needs validation.
Proposed component
LS-BT-XZ-G-8-6045
800 mm column, 600 × 450 mm breadboard, glass tray and two lighting holders. Proposed bench fixture; actual load, travel, clamps, mounting fasteners and light clearance must be confirmed.
Inspect the real capture
Follow the contrast to the part.
Revealing structure is a prerequisite, not a hidden-defect result.
Camera and available lens CAD are published models. Light envelopes and the station base/height use printed dimensions. Part shapes, brackets, holders, shielding and spacing are illustrative; they are not reconstructions of a source part or a complete mechanically validated assembly. Light paths explain the proposed arrangement and do not simulate optical performance. The SWIR scene field is illustrative; no measured field or printed magnification/working-distance relationship is asserted. Purple is a display convention for invisible illumination.

The station is an optical test bench, with its two lighting holders included in the catalog listing. The 3D column and base follow the published height and footprint. Carriages, clamps and part supports are schematic: confirm camera screw pattern, lens support, light fasteners, permissible load and actual travel before ordering.

Evidence you can inspect
Visible in the images
An underlying structured pattern is more visible in the source1300 nm capture than in its1050 nm capture.
What the source reports
The source names1050/1300 nm and fibre-optic1300 nm illumination; the complete source system and a defect-classification result are not given.
How to use this evidence
An application-lab lighting demonstration, not a customer deployment or a qualified production inspection. Proposed camera, lens, fixture and scene spacing require a fresh trial. Source observations do not establish a defect-size limit, accuracy guarantee or production false-call rate.
What the camera saw
Cropped from the source test sheet; original test annotations are retained. Captures are not generated or enhanced. Drag the comparison slider or use the image buttons.
SWIR1050 nmSWIR1300 nm fibre lightSWIR1300 nm fibre light: Source1300 nm fibre-light capture: circuit structure is more visible.
The challenge
A dark-looking chip surface can conceal useful underlying structure. Its visible appearance is not enough to choose a near-infrared inspection band.
How it was solved
The source explicitly calls the1300 nm illumination fibre-optic but does not name its exact engine, fibre head, camera or lens. The proposed1300 nm panel is a separate transmission-trial arrangement, not the original fibre system.
An optional1300 nm fibre-light engine is also shown as a proposed alternative. Its required fibre and output head must be specified before calling that alternative a complete optical system.
Why it works
- 1
The relative transmission and reflection of the chip stack change with wavelength. A band that reveals structure can improve a later localization or comparison task.
- 2
A visible circuit pattern does not prove continuity, identify a failure mechanism or guarantee access through every package material.
From image contrast to a production decision
What to validate on your part
A useful sample image is the starting point. These are the checks that turn the concept into a defensible inspection.
- 01
Identify the stack
Confirm the actual die/package material and the layer the inspection must reveal.
- 02
Compare light delivery
Test the proposed panel and, if needed, a specified fibre head on the same representative samples.
- 03
Use confirmed defects
Separate a visibility demonstration from defect detection by validating known good and independently confirmed defective parts.
Explore your inspection requirementsNo limit from motion
How many pixels cover your feature?
Compare feature coverage, camera pixel requirements and exposure using your own planning inputs. These are calculated planning values, not inspection results or an accuracy specification.
Editable planning scenario. Adjust these example inputs for your application; they are separate from the source test and 3D setup. Motion allowance and target coverage are starting points to validate, not acceptance limits. Pixel count starts from the proposed camera's catalog resolution.
Enter finite numbers in every field. Field width, feature width, target coverage, exposure and allowed motion must be greater than zero; horizontal pixel count must be a positive whole number; material speed may be zero. Use values within the supported numeric range if a calculation cannot be represented.

Pixels across feature px
Horizontal pixels for target px

Exposure ceiling from motion µs
Formulas and assumptions
The field, feature, speed and exposure start with neutral example values. They are not taken from the source test or the 3D illustration. Allowed motion starts at an editable 0.5-pixel example; it is not a recommended acceptance limit. Target coverage starts at an editable 5-pixel example; it is not a recommended detection or measurement threshold. The horizontal pixel count starts from the catalog Resolution row for MV-CI013-GS-NN. Use the effective width after cropping, binning or decimation if those modes are enabled.
- Object sampling (mm/px) = field width (mm) / horizontal pixels.
- Pixels across feature = feature width (mm) / object sampling (mm/px).
- Horizontal pixels for target = field width (mm) × target pixels across feature / feature width (mm), rounded up to a whole pixel.
- Motion (px) = speed (mm/s) × exposure (µs) / 1,000,000 / object sampling (mm/px).
- Exposure for allowed motion (µs) = allowed motion (px) × object sampling (mm/px) / speed (mm/s) × 1,000,000.
The exposure result is the maximum duration from this motion allowance alone. At zero speed, motion sets no exposure limit; the camera, lighting, saturation and other constraints still apply. A shorter exposure does not itself guarantee a reliable inspection.
Field width and feature width refer to the same object plane. The motion calculation assumes uniform linear motion parallel to the field-width direction and a single exposure. It does not model perspective, vibration, rolling-shutter distortion, diffraction, defocus or optical distortion. A strobe may change the effective exposure.
The target result is a horizontal sampling requirement, not a camera recommendation or a change to the selected camera. It uses the effective image width after cropping, binning or decimation and does not determine the vertical resolution or sensor size. Pixel coverage alone does not establish detectability or measurement accuracy. Validate contrast, lens performance, working distance, illumination, calibration, camera exposure limits and the inspection algorithm on representative parts. Changing field width does not change the 3D model or certify that the proposed lens can achieve that field.

About this case study: the photos and camera images come from the application laboratory of the maker of the lighting and optics we sell, imaged on the parts shown; your results depend on your part, camera and set-up. This is an application-lab study, not a LumaSpec customer deployment. Source figures are reported results; proposed components require a fresh trial. The 3D scene illustrates the arrangement and does not simulate imaging performance.
