Stabilization of bonding force during ultrasonic wire and ribbon bonding

Digital Control of Bonding Force for Gold Wire Bonding Machine

In order to digitally control the bonding force of a wire bonder precisely, this paper uses a DC solenoid as a force source, and by controlling the solenoid’s current, which causes the electromagnetic force, we can control the bonding force that capillary applies. The bonding force control system in this paper is composed of PC (Personal Computer) and hypogyny MCU (Micro Controller Unit), which...

Ultrasonic friction power during Al wire wedge-wedge bonding

Al wire bonding, also called ultrasonic wedge-wedge bonding, is a microwelding process used extensively in the microelectronics industry for interconnections to integrated circuits. The bonding wire used is a 25 m diameter AlSi1 wire. A friction power model is used to derive the ultrasonic friction power during Al wire bonding. Auxiliary measurements include the current delivered to the ultraso...

In situ ultrasonic force signals during low-temperature thermosonic copper wire bonding

Ultrasonic in situ force signals from integrated piezo-resistive microsensors were used previously to describe the interfacial stick-slip motion as the most important mechanism in thermosonic Au wire ball bonding to Al pads. The same experimental method is applied here with a hard and a soft Cu wire type. The signals are compared with those obtained from ball bonds with standard Au wire. Prior ...

Impact of aluminum wire and ribbon bonding technologies on D2PAK package reliability during thermal cycling applications

Investigation of ultrasonic vibrations of wire-bonding capillaries

Ultrasonic energy is widely used in wire bonding for microelectronics packaging. It is necessary to ensure that the maximum ultrasonic vibration displacement occurs at or near the tip of the bonding tool (capillary) for optimal performance. In this study, amplitude profiles of ultrasonic vibrations along capillaries were measured with load using a laser interferometer. This provided valuable in...
