Well guess what they use in manufacturing and QA.
This is what Google AI told me....................
Yes, SanDisk (now an independent company spun off from Western Digital) uses advanced microscopy in its manufacturing and research processes. The company operates a dedicated nanoscale laboratory where engineers use powerful microscopes to inspect and analyze their high-density storage products at an incredibly fine scale.
The use of microscopes is a standard and critical practice in the semiconductor and flash memory industry for several reasons:
Quality Assurance and Inspection: Microscopes, particularly high-powered digital and 3D optical microscopes, are essential for quality control to analyze solder points, defects, and surface quality of components.
Nanoscale Analysis: The circuitry in modern flash memory products is incredibly small, manufactured using processes that operate at the nanometer scale (e.g., SanDisk has used 19nm process technology). Specialized microscopes are necessary to view and verify these intricate structures.
Research and Development: SanDisk's nanoscale lab allows engineers to view storage at a scale 5,000 times smaller than a red blood cell, which is crucial for innovation in data storage and memory technology.
Troubleshooting: The ability to closely examine components helps in identifying issues in the manufacturing process and improving product reliability, especially for industrial and automotive-grade products designed to withstand demanding conditions.
Companies like Bruker provide stylus and 3D microscope systems specifically for semiconductor and data storage applications, highlighting the industry-wide reliance on this technology.
