The induced magnetic fields of faulty and fault free interconnects were detected by a planar array-coil sensor using eddy current testing (ECT) principle. The experimental results have shown that in the presence of a short fault, the differences between the induced voltages from fault free and faulty interconnects are highly negative in values. Whereas, in the presence of an open fault, the differences between the induced voltages from fault free and faulty interconnects are highly positive in values. These highly positive or negative induced voltages were translated into high density color regions on the contour plots. The potential fault positions can be located by observing the color regions of the contour plots with respect to each element of the array-coil sensor. © 2014 IEEE. date: 2014 publisher: IEEE Computer Society official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84906337158&doi=10.1109%2fICIAS.2014.6869483&partnerID=40&md5=7e9475985676c787481107987d8a97eb id_number: 10.1109/ICIAS.2014.6869483 full_text_status: none publication: 2014 5th International Conference on Intelligent and Advanced Systems: Technological Convergence for Sustainable Future, ICIAS 2014 - Proceedings place_of_pub: Kuala Lumpur refereed: TRUE isbn: 9781479946549 citation: Socheatra, S. and Zain Ali, N.B. and Khir, M.H.Md.
