Apparatus and method for noninvasively determining positioning of a component beneath a substrate

摘要

A method of noninvasively determining desired positioning of a component beneath a substrate is described. The component has a concealing surface longitudinally separated by a substrate body from an accessible surface of the substrate. A component having longitudinally differing activated and deactivated positions is provided. The component is located longitudinally beneath the concealing surface of the substrate. The accessible surface of the substrate is inspected with an inspection device while the component is beneath the concealing surface. With the inspection device, at least one of an activated and a deactivated position of the component is detected. The detected activated and/or deactivated position of the component is indicated, in a user-perceptible format. An apparatus for noninvasively determining desired positioning of a component beneath a substrate is also provided.

1. A method of noninvasively determining desired positioning of a component beneath a substrate having a concealing surface longitudinally separated by a substrate body from an accessible surface of the substrate, the method comprising:
providing a component having longitudinally differing activated and deactivated positions, the component being located longitudinally beneath the concealing surface of the substrate; inspecting, with an inspection device from the accessible surface of the substrate the component located beneath the accessible and concealing surfaces; detecting, with the inspection device, at least one of an activated and a deactivated position of the component; and indicating, in a user-perceptible format, the detected activated and/or deactivated position of the component.
