What it is
General reference — not yet source-verifiedBall bonders are semiconductor packaging machines that attach fine wire between a device bond pad and a package lead or substrate pad. Ball bonders are used after wafer fabrication and die preparation, in assembly flow rather than front-end wafer processing.
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedBall bonders generally form a small free-air ball on the wire, place a first bond on the device pad, loop the wire to a second location, and then complete the second bond before terminating the wire for the next cycle. Ball bonders typically combine bond-force control, ultrasonic energy, heat at the work area, motion control, and optical viewing to support manual or semi-automatic setup and bonding work.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedWire bonding sits after wafer dicing and die attach in semiconductor assembly flow. Wire bonding usually precedes encapsulation or lid attach, external lead finishing, and final electrical test.
Applications
General reference — not yet source-verifiedBall bonders are used to create interconnections from semiconductor die to package terminals or substrate features. Ball bonders are used in device assembly where fine wire loops are needed between bond pads and the next level of package interconnect.
