The ASM Eagle AERO is an automatic horizontal wire bonder for high-end IC semiconductor packaging. The Eagle AERO uses X-Power thermosonic bonding technology and supports bonding balls as small as 22 µm with 0.5 mil wire. The Eagle AERO offers up to 30% higher UPH for typical copper wire applications compared to previous generations.[1][2]

What it is

The Eagle AERO is designed for high-end integrated circuit (IC) packaging applications. The system creates electrical connections between semiconductor dies and package substrates through fine wire bonding. The equipment supports high-volume automated manufacturing environments.[5][3]

How it works

The Eagle AERO uses thermosonic wire bonding technology. The machine combines ultrasonic energy and thermal energy to form bonds between wire and bonding pads.[1][5]

The machine features an automated transport system and a dual magnification optical path with dual-color coaxial light. The Eagle AERO is equipped with AeroEye management software for monitoring and quality assurance.[2][1]

Where it fits in the process flow

The Eagle AERO is a wire bonder, a type of backend semiconductor assembly equipment. Wire bonding follows die attachment and precedes encapsulation in the semiconductor packaging process flow.[5]

The Eagle AERO is used after die preparation and package loading steps. The bonding process includes automatic vision alignment, wire bonding, bond quality inspection, and then the workpieces proceed to package encapsulation and final testing.[5]
