Department Profiles
Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits
Development Center X-Ray Technology
The Development Center X-Ray Technology focuses on the subjects X-ray sensors and simulation, computed tomography (CT), X-ray image processing, CT and metrology as well as material characterization.
Modern production methods demand more and more sophisticated quality assurance. Non-destructive X-ray inspection contributes increasingly to achieving highest quality. Our scope of services comprises research and development for new inspection tasks, the design of complete X-ray inspection prototypes including automatic evaluation, as well as the development of individual components. We cover all subsectors such as image acquisition (sensor technology), 2D and 3D computed tomography and entirely automated evaluation.
We offer development and installation of turn-key X-ray systems for the industrial production levels up to scientific services.
