The ApexHybrid-200TM: A Cutting-Edge Nano 3D X-ray Microscope by Sigray

Canon Marketing Japan has partnered with Sigray, Inc. to introduce the hybrid nano 3D X-ray microscope, the ApexHybrid-200TM, scheduled for release on May 26, 2025. This advanced instrument facilitates both orthogonal and angled computed tomography (CT) imaging, achieving a remarkable spatial resolution below 400 nm.

Addressing Complex Analytical Needs

As semiconductor technology continues to advance, there is a growing necessity to identify failures within intricate products. From large printed circuit boards to small chiplets, the demand for versatile analysis tools that can accommodate various sizes and shapes of samples has never been more crucial. The increasing complexity of electric vehicle battery production, particularly in solid-state batteries, highlights the need for rapid and precise analytical techniques. In response to these challenges, Canon MJ proudly presents the ApexHybrid-200TM, designed to meet these high demands.

Innovative Imaging Modes

The ApexHybrid-200TM stands out due to its capability to alternate between orthogonal and angled X-ray imaging. Orthogonal imaging is well known for producing high-resolution images that can identify minute defects and fine structures effectively. On the other hand, angled imaging allows for close observation of larger samples, providing a non-destructive analysis without the need for cutting the sample. This instrument integrates patented Precision Angle Laminography (PAL) technology alongside its orthogonal imaging mode.

In PAL mode, users can measure large samples with a diameter of up to 225 mm while achieving sub-micron spatial resolution in approximately just 15 minutes. The ability to switch between these two imaging modes allows the ApexHybrid-200TM to adapt to a variety of sample shapes and sizes, significantly enhancing efficiency in fault diagnosis and research and development efforts.

Future Aspirations and Expansion

Canon MJ is committed to responding to the increasing demand for X-ray analysis solutions. The company aims not only to invigorate the X-ray CT equipment market but also to expand its offering of analytical applications that were previously deemed challenging. In the coming five years, Canon MJ targets selling over 30 units of the ApexHybrid-200TM, thus further solidifying its presence in the industry.
