Considerations
Voids within a sample could be checked using the penetrating X-ray image obtained by irradiating the sample with a 10 µm-diameter X-ray beam.
From the data measured for tin (Sn), copper (Cu) and bromine (Br) images as well as RGB composite images, it was possible to verify that it was the copper that was causing the ion migration. The ends of the copper pads were not covered by solder, leaving the copper exposed. It could be surmised that this along with the effects of residual flux and residual cleaning solution caused the migration.

Observation of Internal Structure Using Penetrating Images
The 10 µm-diameter beam can be used, for example, to observe penetrating images of voids (air bubbles) in solder and to analyze element distribution, including ion migration, in minute areas.
