Digital Control of Bonding Force for Gold Wire Bonding Machine
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 communicate using a RS485 interface. The digital value of a given bonding force is given by the PC to the MCU. By comparing the sampling current of the solenoid, and through PID regulation, D/A converter of the digital potentiometer and the solenoid driver circuit, the half-closed loop control system of bonding force is accomplished. Tuning of the PID parameters is accomplished with fuzzy adaptive control theory and simulated by Matlab simulink. The control system is tested by comparing the desired bonding force and the force actually applied and examming the relationship between bonding quality and bonding force.

Wire bonding is a process that is used to form solid-state bonds to interconnect metals such as gold wires to metalized pads deposited on silicon integrated circuits. Typically, there are 3 main wire bonding techniques; Thermo-compression, Ultrasonic and Thermosonic. This experiment utilizes thermosonic bonding which applies heat, ultrasonic energy and force on an Au-Al system. Sixteen groups o...
متن کاملBonding to the Chip Face
‘Wire bonding’ is used throughout the microelectronics industry for interconnecting dice, substrates and output pins. Fine wires, generally of aluminium or gold 18–50μm in diameter, are attached using pressure and ultrasonic energy to form metallurgical bonds. Devices bonded with gold wire generally need additional thermal energy, and the bonding process is referred to as ‘thermosonic’ rather t...

A 60-lm bond-pad-pitch wire-bonding process was developed using test dies with a SiO2 dielectric layer under aluminium pads, and was then fine-tuned for a low-k device using three types of gold wires with different mechanical properties. Bulk material hardness of the wires were characterised using a wire-bonding machine, the force applied and diameters of squashed free-air balls. It was found t...
