What it is
General reference — not yet source-verifiedThe West Bond 7476E is a class of bench-top wire bonding equipment used in microfabrication and packaging for joining fine wire leads to semiconductor devices and related assemblies. Wire bonders occupy the late-stage interconnect step of device buildout, after the underlying structures and bond pads have been formed.
