We have established that it is feasible to design and construct a high temperature superconductor (HTS) superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) microscope for the inspection of multichip modules (MCM). An innovative HTS SQUID microscope which incorporates a room temperature scanning sample stage was designed, constructed, and is generating images from a variety of samples.
The goal of this SBIR Phase I project is to establish the feasibility of designing a High Temperature Superconductor (HTS) Superconducting QUantum Interference Device (SQUID) microscope in order to detect defects, and verify customizations and repairs in MCM substrates. The overall goal of this SBIR program is to market an HTS SQUID microscope dedicated to the inspection of MCM substrates in a manufacturing environment. Neocera and its subcontractor, the Center ...
One of the major issues revolving around high temperature superconducting (HTS) microwave technology is that, while researchers have applied it to components of various systems, far fewer integrated systems have been designed; such integrated designs are essential for HTS technology to be successfully implemented for practical applications. A variety of HTS microwave components (such as filters and delay lines) have been demonstrated that perform better, weigh less, and occupy less ...
