What it is

The Hesse & Knipps BJ 820 is an automatic heavy wire bonder (Dickdrahtbonder) produced by Hesse & Knipps GmbH.[8]

The bonder is configured with a 45-degree bond head and is supplied with a built-in microscope, monitor, and vacuum work holder.[3]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

Heavy wire bonders such as the BJ 820 use ultrasonic energy to weld thick aluminum or copper wire to bond pads and substrate metallization.

Bonding parameters such as ultrasonic power, time, and force are programmable and can be stored in parameter libraries.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

The BJ 820 is used in semiconductor back-end assembly after die attach and before encapsulation.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

Typical packages include discrete power packages, hybrid modules, and large-area power substrates that require high-current carrying capability.
