Abstract

See full text

A technique for detecting damage of leads arranged in a generally parallel periodic pattern, includes the following steps: directing a coherent light beam at a plurality of adjacent leads; detecting an image at a distance from the leads at which the light beam would form a diffraction image having substantially uniform intensity when the leads form a substantially uniform pattern; moving the pattern of leads and the light beam with respect to each other; and detecting damage of leads from variation in intensity of the detected image.
