[0002] Power device nondestructive scanning is a testing technology primarily used to assess the internal quality of power devices and ensure their reliability and performance. Power device nondestructive scanning primarily includes ultrasonic nondestructive testing, scanning acoustic microscopy, optical microscanning microthermography systems, and X-ray nondestructive testing.

[0003] During X-ray nondestructive testing (NDT), IGBT power devices must be positioned so that the resulting pattern, after X-ray scanning, is unique within the search box for accurate detection and judgment. Because the patterns of individual IGBT power devices are repetitive, they can easily become misaligned when performing large numbers of scans, leading to missed or incorrect detections. Therefore, a positioning solution that can accurately locate the IGBT power device under inspection during X-ray NDT is urgently needed. Utility Model Content

[0053] By combining the shapes or positions of the positioning pieces 3, the IGBT power device under test can be quickly and accurately located, and a specific device or even a specific end of the device can be located, thus avoiding false detection and missed detection in the case of repeated patterns.

[0054] Preferably, the first to fourth embodiments are further improved;

[0055] The shape of the positioning piece 3 can also be selected to be a trapezoid, an ellipse, a dumbbell, a spindle, a teardrop, a capsule or a regular polygon (such as a regular pentagon).
