8028 PPS

The Kulicke & Soffa 8028 PPS is a wire bonder. The 8028 PPS is categorized in packaging and bonding. The 8028 PPS is part of the Kulicke & Soffa 8028 PPS family.^[2][4]

Wire bonders position a bonding tool over bond pads and package terminations, then create wire interconnects by combining force, heat, and ultrasonic or thermosonic energy according to the bonding method. Wire bonders repeat this sequence across many connection sites to complete the package interconnect pattern. Wire bonders rely on motion control, vision alignment, and bond parameter control to place bonds accurately and consistently.

Packaging and bonding equipment operates in semiconductor back-end manufacturing rather than front-end wafer patterning. Wire bonding follows die preparation and placement into a package or onto a substrate. Wire bonding precedes encapsulation, sealing, final test, and shipment into higher-level electronic assembly.

Wire bonders are used to interconnect semiconductor dies in plastic packages, ceramic packages, and hybrid assemblies. Wire bonders are applied in integrated circuit packaging, discrete semiconductor packaging, sensor packaging, and related microelectronic assembly work. Packaging and bonding tools support assembly flows where a die must be electrically joined to external leads or substrate features.
