摘要:
In order to test conductors on substrates for current constricting defects, such as cracks, narrow conductors, line breaks and intermittent opens, a test signal combining two alternating current signals at different frequencies and direct current offset signal is applied to the conductor. Upon encountering a defect, intermodulation signals are generated and detected. The phase of the detected signal and the phase of a reference signal are compared. The difference between the phase of the two signals is indicative of the presence of a defect in the conductor. The invention has particular application for testing thin conductors.
