The Nordson 4000 is a bond tester. The Nordson 4000 is a modular testing platform for wire pull, ball shear, die shear, tweezer pull, and vector pull measurements. The Nordson 4000 runs on Windows 11 operating system.[1][2][3]
Where it fits in the process flow
The Nordson DAGE 4000 Bond Tester is a destructive and non-destructive mechanical testing system used in the final stages of semiconductor packaging and assembly to verify interconnect integrity. The machine comes after wire bonding, flip-chip attachment, or ball-grid array (BGA) assembly in the process flow, providing quality assurance feedback on bond strength and failure modes. The system supports industry-standard test fixtures per JEDEC and IPC specifications for wire pull, ball shear, and die shear testing. The machine accommodates substrates ranging from bare silicon wafers (2-inch, 4-inch, 6-inch, 8-inch) to populated PCBs.[2][3]
Applications
The Nordson DAGE 4000 Bond Tester is used for quality assurance and failure analysis in microelectronics, semiconductor, automotive, and aerospace industries. The machine is suitable for testing wire bonds (gold, copper, aluminum), solder bumps (tin-lead, SAC, micro-bumps), die attach interfaces, ribbon bonds, and embedded passive elements. Specific applications include cold bump pull testing of solder balls from chip-scale packages, cavity shear testing with reduced ball deformation, vector pull testing for tab leads on packages, and zone shear testing for multiple rows on BGA and CSP packages.[2][3][5]
