Abstract:
Methods and systems for verifying compatibility of components (e.g. parts or devices) of an electronic system are disclosed. In certain embodiments the method includes: irradiating a first and second components presumably associated with the electronic system, with XRF exciting radiation, and detecting one or more XRF response signals indicative of a first and a second XRF signatures, emitted from the first and second components in response to the irradiation. Then the first and second XRF signatures are processed to determine whether they are associated with respectively a first and second XRF marking compositions on the first and second components, and the compatibility of the first and second components to the electronic system is determined/verified based on the correspondence between the first and a second XRF signatures/marking. Certain embodiments also disclose electronic systems including at least a first and a second electronic components/devices respectively having the first and second XRF marking compositions that enable verification of compatibility of the components. Certain embodiments disclose techniques for pairing the first and second components (e.g. devices) based a correspondence between the first and second XRF signatures/markings thereof. Certain embodiments disclose various calibration techniques for calibrating the XRF measurements of XRF markings applied to different substrate materials of the electronic components.

Claim (Index 6):
The electronic system of  claim 5  wherein:\n (I) the first marking composition is embedded in the circuit board in one or more of the following:\n (a) the first marking composition may be blended with the polymers comprising the solder mask applied to the circuit board during its fabrication; \n (b) the first marking composition is blended with ink of prints printed on the circuit board; \n (c) the first marking composition is blended with the compounds comprising the under-fill binding of one or more components to the circuit board; \n (d) the first marking composition may be blended with polymers of the packaging of some of the components on the circuit board; \n (e) the marking composition is embedded in an overly or coating of the solder mask or of components of the circuit board; \n (f) the marking composition is blended with polymers applied to through vertical interconnect access (VIA) holes on the circuit board; \n (g) the marking composition is contained in a special \u2018fake\u2019 component designed for carrying the marking composition; and \n \n (II) the second component is an electronic component mountable on the circuit board and said second marking composition is embedded in said electronic component in one or more of the following:\n (h) the second marking composition is blended with ink of prints printed on the electronic component; \n (i) the second marking composition may be blended with polymers of the packaging of the second component; \n (j) the marking composition is blended with polymers applied to through vertical interconnect access (VIA) holes of the second component.
