What it is
The West Bond 7327 is a manual thermocompression wedge wire bonder.[1]
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedIn thermocompression wedge bonding, the wire is pressed onto a metallized pad by a wedge-shaped tool while heat is applied. The combination of force and elevated temperature creates a solid-state weld between the wire and the pad. The wedge tool then moves to the second bond point and repeats the process.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedWire bonding is a back-end packaging step that follows wafer dicing and die attachment. The bonder connects the die pads to the package leads, which later serve as the electrical interface to the outside world. After bonding, the package is typically encapsulated or molded.
Applications
General reference — not yet source-verifiedBecause manual bonders can accommodate non-standard package geometries and small quantities, they are also used in university research, sample preparation for reliability testing, and repair of damaged wire bonds.
