Abstract The development of a next generation high-resolution x-ray Computed Tomography (CT) tool and its applications are reported in this paper. Some of the key features are region of interest capability, improved time-to-data, improved usability, and data collection automation capability. We also discuss the key technical challenges that are faced by x-ray CT technology. Critical cases that are hard or not possible to isolate by alternative methods are also discussed. Examples include Controlled Collapse Chip Connection (C4) bump cracking and “invisible” non-wetting analysis, ball grid array (BGA) solder joint cracking, and wirebond microcracking and wirebond shorting, as well as demonstration of progressive testing capability.

X-ray Computed Tomography (CT) is a powerful non-destructive technique that can yield interesting structural information not discernible through visual examination only. This paper presents the results of the CT scans of four objects belonging to the Romanian cultural heritage attributed to the Vinča, Cucuteni and Cruceni-Belegiš cultures. The study was performed with an X-ray tomographic device developed at the Department for Applied Nuclear Physics from Horia Hulubei National Institute for Nuclear Physics and Engineering in Măgurele, Romania. This apparatus was specially designed for archaeometric studies of low-Z artifacts: ceramic, wood, bone. The tomographic investigations revealed the internal configuration of the objects and provided information about the degree to which the previous manipulations affected the archaeological items. Based on the X-ray images resulting from the CT scans, hints about the techniques used in the manufacturing of the artifacts were obtained, as well as some indications useful for conservation/restoration purposes.
