Yes. It's called a surface acoustic microscope. Rent time at your local university or college.

hi dave

Is there another tool besides SAM (Scanning Acoustic Microscopy)?

We have read papers espousing using xray, but have never seen such a thing. It seems the contrast provided in the xray images is insufficient for analysis of the underfill.

You can do a destructive test to sort of check your process. Break off the flipchip and look for voids. I have used Namics 8437-2 for the last 7 or 8 years. Good stuff. Flows under a 0.001" gap with no voids.
