Join the CALCE/SMTA Counterfeit Parts and Materials Symposium for a talk on Machine Learning and Machine Vision Systems for Microelectronic Screening
By: Naresh Menon Covisus Inc.
Abstract: With support from the Defense Microelectronics Activity (DMEA), we are developing DTEK 3.0 to support the ongoing Department of Defense (DOD) challenge to ensure the authenticity and security of microelectronics parts within its supply chain. The automated machine vision system is designed to capture SAE AS 6171/2 EVI test methods as well as the surface features of a microelectronic component and using machine learning algorithms to determine if the component is suspect or not. The technology is based on our proven products currently being used within the DOD supply chain to protect it from counterfeit components. In this paper, we will discuss the performance of this system.
