What it is

The West Bond 10100 is a wire bonder used in semiconductor packaging and bonding. It is a WestBond model 10100 wire bonder.[1]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

Wire bonding equipment places a bonding tool over a pad or lead area and forms a connection using a controlled sequence of position, pressure, heat, and energy delivery. The machine then advances to the next bond location and repeats the cycle to create a network of interconnects.

In this class of equipment, the bond head, capillary or wedge tool, motion stages, and control system work together to position the workpiece and create repeatable wire attachment points.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

Wire bonding sits in the assembly and packaging flow after wafer processing and singulation, when individual dies are attached to a package or substrate and then electrically connected to the external circuit path.

It is used before later packaging steps such as encapsulation and final test, because the interconnects must be completed while the die and package features are still accessible.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

This type of machine is used for semiconductor device assembly where fine interconnects are needed between a die and its package or carrier.

Wire bonding is common in integrated circuit packaging and related electronic assembly work that relies on small, precise electrical connections.
