چکیده
In this article, the new challenges and requirements in wire bonding are discussed, the problems in ultra-fine-pitch wire bonding and insulated wire bonding are analyzed, and then two capillary solutions to the problems are presented. Actual bonding experiments using the new capillaries were carried out and the results were satisfactory. Compared to the standard design, a new capillary design has a larger inner chamfer, a larger chamfer diameter and a smaller chamfer angle. This new capillary design has proved to improve the ball bondability and smaller ball size control for ultra-fine pitch wire bonding. A unique surface characteristic on the capillary tip surface has also been derived. The new finishing process developed creates a new surface morphology, which has relatively deep lines with no fixed directions. Compared to the standard capillary, this capillary has less slipping between the wire and the capillary tip surface in contact, and provides better coupling effect between them and better ultrasonic energy transfer. This capillary has been used to effectively improve the bondability of the stitch bonds for insulated wire bonding. 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

It was possible to simulate and analyze the variation in the plastic deformation of ball bond when it was subjected to different loading conditions and capillary configurations. The...
متن کاملNew Design of Capillaries for Multi-Tier Wire Bonding
The demand for increased computing power and more complex integrated circuit devices with increased functions per chip results in high lead-count integrated circuit packages. With the shrinkage in integrated circuit sizes towards smaller packages, and the decrease in pad pitch, the trend is moving from the current ultra-fine-pitch volume production of 50 μm to even lower pad pitches. However, t...

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...
