What it is

The Hesse & Knipps BJ 935 is a heavy wire bonder. The BJ 935 operates on a 230 V supply at 50-60 Hz.[1]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

Wire bonders feed a wire from a spool through a bonding tool. The tool applies pressure and ultrasonic vibration to create a metallurgical connection between the wire and the bond pad. Ultrasonic bonding uses frictional heat and pressure to form the weld.

Heavy wire bonding generally uses a wedge bonding process. The wire is deformed into a wedge shape at both bond locations. Aluminum wire is commonly used for heavy wire bonding.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

Heavy wire bonding is performed in the back-end assembly of semiconductor packages. The process follows die attach, in which the die is mounted onto the substrate or leadframe. After bonding, the package is encapsulated to protect the wire connections.
