Wire bonding is a method of making interconnections between an integrated circuit (IC) or other semiconductor device and its packaging during semiconductor device fabrication. Wire bonding can also be used to connect an IC to other electronics or to connect from one printed circuit board (PCB) to another, although these are less common.
Flip chip, also known as controlled collapse chip connection or its abbreviation, C4, [1] is a method for interconnecting dies such as semiconductor devices, IC chips, integrated passive devices and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), to external circuitry with solder bumps that have been deposited onto the chip pads.
Glob-top is a variant of conformal coating used in chip-on-board assembly (COB). It consists of a drop of specially formulated epoxy [4] or resin deposited over a semiconductor chip and its wire bonds, to provide mechanical support and exclude contaminants such as fingerprint residues which could disrupt circuit operation. It is most commonly ...
Integrated circuit packaging is the final stage of semiconductor device fabrication, in which the die is encapsulated in a supporting case that prevents physical damage and corrosion. The case, known as a " package ", supports the electrical contacts which connect the device to a circuit board.
During the compliant bonding cycle the bond pressure is uniquely controlled by the inherent flow properties of the aluminum compliant tape (Figure 3). Therefore, if higher bond pressures are needed to increase the final deformation (flatness) of a compliant bonded gold wire, a higher yielding alloy of aluminum could be employed.
Chip-size package (CSP) developed by National Semiconductor [21] COB: Chip on board: Bare die supplied without a package. It is mounted directly to the PCB using bonding wires and covered with a blob of black Epoxy. [22] Also used for LEDs. In LEDs, transparent epoxy or a silicon caulk-like material that may contain a phosphor is poured into a ...
Gold wire ball-bonded on a transistor die. Ball bonding is a type of wire bonding, and is the most common way to make the electrical interconnections between a bare silicon die and the lead frame of the package it is placed in during semiconductor device fabrication.
Wedge bonding is a kind of wire bonding which relies on the application of ultrasonic power and force to form bonds. It is a popular method and is commonly used in the semiconductor industry . Wedge bonding is directional, so the bonding head rotates to accommodate the different angles for bonding.
