What it is

General reference — not yet source-verified

Wire bonders are used in semiconductor packaging to interconnect the integrated circuit die to the package substrate or leadframe. Digital wire bonders use computer-controlled positioning and bonding parameters to achieve consistent wire-loop shapes and bond quality.

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

Digital wire bonders typically employ a transducer that vibrates at ultrasonic frequencies to bond wire to the bonding pad or substrate. The bonding head, carrying a capillary or wedge tool, is precisely positioned using servo-controlled stages. The bonder applies force, ultrasonic energy, and sometimes heat to form the bond.
