Copper Wire Bonding

Abstract

This chapter presents the wire bonding process, including the influence of process parameters on the wire bonds and bond process optimization. Bonding parameters such as ultrasonic power, ultrasonic generator current, electric flame-off current, firing time, bonding force, and temperature are discussed. The potential defects and failures that could arise during the bonding process and the bonding damage induced by tools are explained.
