Third Monthly Progress Report on Contract N00014-94-C-0210. Phase 1.

Abstract

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 for Superconductivity Research at the University of Maryland, are working collaboratively in this effort. Initial efforts have focused on: demonstrating that a room temperature object can be brought sufficiently close to a cryogenically-cooled SQUID sensor to image electrical defects (shorts, opens, voids, particulate contamination, etc.); constructing a room temperature sample stage; and assembling the sensor control and readout electronics.
