ABSTRACT:
Accuracy of a circuit assembly process (100) is determined by capturing an image (306, 1008) of an assembly formed on a substrate by the circuit assembly process (100), calculating coverage (310, 1012, 1024) of the assembly from the image, and comparing the coverage (312, 1016, 1026) to a threshold.
