There are various wire bonding techniques (thermosonic bonding, ultrasonic bonding, thermocompression bonding) and types of wire bonds (ball bonding, wedge bonding) that affect susceptibility to manufacturing defects and reliability issues. Certain materials and wire diameters are more practical for fine pitch or complex layouts.
The advantage of wedge bonding is a finer pitch is possible. Wedge bonding also accommodates the use of metal ribbon instead of wire for bonding. Thermocompression Bonding (TCB): The technique uses heat and pressure to create a bond between a thin wire (typically aluminum or gold) and the bonding pads. As heat softens the wire, pressure is ...

Figure 4. Compliant bonding wires of varying sizes simultaneously. Because gold is the only metal that does not form an oxide coating which can interfere with making a reliable metal to metal contact, gold wires are widely used to make these important wire connections in the field of microelectronic packaging.
In beam-lead technology, the metallized pads that would be used for wire bonding connections in a conventional chip are thickened and extended to allow external connections to the circuit. Assemblies using "bare" chips have additional packaging or filling with epoxy to protect the devices from moisture.
A high-voltage electric charge is applied to the wire. This melts the wire at the tip of the capillary. The tip of the wire forms into a ball because of the surface tension of the molten metal. Ball bonding processes including (1) ball formation and (2) ball bond formation Ball bonding processes including (3) loop formation and (4) tail bond ...
A binder or binding agent is any material or substance that holds or draws other materials together to form a cohesive whole mechanically, chemically, by adhesion or cohesion. More narrowly, binders are liquid or dough-like substances that harden by a chemical or physical process and bind fibres, filler powder and other particles added into it.
Desoldering a contact from a wire. Soldering (US: / ˈ s ɒ d ər ɪ ŋ /; UK: / ˈ s oʊ l d ər ɪ ŋ /) is a process of joining two metal surfaces together using a filler metal called solder. The soldering process involves heating the surfaces to be joined and melting the solder, which is then allowed to cool and solidify, creating a strong ...
