The K&S IConn is a wire bonder made by Kulicke & Soffa. The IConn wire bonder operates on a 50/60 Hz electrical supply. The IConn wire bonder is rated for an interrupt capacity of 5000 A and an over-current rating of 1000 A per 10 ms.[1]
What it is
General reference — not yet source-verifiedA wire bonder is a semiconductor assembly machine used to create fine electrical interconnects between a die and a package or substrate. Wire bonders belong to the back-end packaging flow, where they form the connections that link device bond pads to external package leads or substrate traces.
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedWire bonders generally position a bonding tool over a semiconductor device and its package interconnect points, then form a sequence of bonds joined by a wire span. Wire bonding commonly uses heat, force, and ultrasonic energy in controlled combinations to create a metallurgical and mechanical connection. Wire bonders also rely on precision motion, vision alignment, and programmed bond patterns to repeat interconnect formation across many devices.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedWire bonding is performed after the die has been attached to its package or substrate. Wire bonding is followed by later package-assembly steps such as encapsulation, lid attach, singulation, marking, and final electrical test, depending on package design.
