Wire bonding using copper or insulated wire leads to many advantages and new challenges. Research is intensively performed worldwide, leading to many new findings and solutions. This article reviews recent advances in wire bonding using copper wire or insulated wire for advanced microelectronics packaging. Journal articles, conference articles and patents published or issued recently are review...

in this paper, based on equations of lateral vibrations of wires, a non contact method for measuring instantaneous tension in a wire is introduced. the lateral vibration of the string is measured using an eddy current transducer and is sent to a computer. this signal is then imported to suitable software for fast fourier transform (fft) processing. the first natural frequency of the string is c...

CONCLUSION Open reduction through an intercartilaginous incision was useful for treating delayed-diagnosed nasal bone fractures because it resulted in a successful outcome with minimal complications. OBJECTIVES Nasal bone fractures are generally managed with closed reduction, which is usually inadequate and results in airway obstruction with a delayed diagnosis of nasal bone fracture when bon...

A normal bone marrow microenvironment plays a very important role in the normal functioning of hematopoietic stem cells. Once disturbed, this microenvironment can become favorable for the occurrence of blood disorders, cancers, and other diseases. Therefore, further studies on the bone marrow microenvironment should be performed to reveal regulatory and stem cell fate determination mechanisms a...

Purpose – This paper attempts to review recent advances in wire bonding using copper wire. Design/methodology/approach – Dozens of journal and conference articles published recently are reviewed. Findings – The problems/challenges such as wire open and short tail defects, poor bondability for stitch/wedge bonds, oxidation of Cu wire, strainhardening effects, and stiff wire on weak support struc...

Current experimental investigation deals with the effects of asymmetrical rolling parameters on the inhomogeneity, microstructure, mechanical, and geometrical properties of rolled brass wire. Toward this end, a roll machine with three different roll radii ratios was set up. The asymmetrical conditions are arranged using three different sets of rolls with different diameters that result into dif...
