They create electrical connections through the process of wire bonding, which involves attaching a thin metal wire between two contact points, typically by using ultrasonic, thermosonic, or ...

According to Nikkei Asia, wire bonding machines, wafer dicers, and laser drilling machines are all in short supply, with orders for new machines booked out for a year. Like toilet paper this time ...

This thermocompression (TC) bonding process was totally operator dependent and a fully manual operation. The operator was required to separately align the wire and the bonding tool, first to the pads ...

Common methods to enhance wire bond yield and reliability, such as the Burnishing process and the Security Bonding process, have been effective but significantly increase production time.
