The 'open' x-ray tube was a major step forward for x-ray inspection. It allows higher magnifications to be achieved because the focal spot can be much closer to the sample. Angled inspection views, so vital for joint inspection (especially for BGAs), can be achieved without loss of magnification, owing to the large x-ray cone angle, and with the target can be indexed or replaced. In addition, the feature recognition reduced to around 2 microns. Unlike the earlier systems, this technology requires a vacuum to be made continuously within the tube, hence the name ‘open’ tube, which means a turbo and roughing pump are running continuously to maintain the vacuum. The reason for this was the limited life of the filament producing the electron beam, in some systems this could mean as little as 100 hours of use before the filament failed and had to be replaced. From figure 5, it can be seen that because the filament is inside the tube, the vacuum has to be drained off, the tube split open, the broken filament assembly removed and a new one set up and fitted. This procedure takes time and has several potential problem areas.
