What it is

The Nordson / Dage Series 4000 is a bond tester used in semiconductor manufacturing and packaging work.[1]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

A bond tester evaluates the mechanical integrity of bonds in packaged semiconductor assemblies by applying a controlled test force to a bonded feature and observing the response.

A microscope is commonly used with a bond tester to support alignment and visual inspection during test setup and inspection of the tested site.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

The Series 4000 fits into post-assembly inspection and quality verification after bonding operations in semiconductor packaging.

Bond testing is typically performed after package assembly steps and before the assembly is released for later handling, analysis, or reliability screening.

Applications

The Series 4000 is used for bond evaluation in semiconductor packaging and bonding work.[1]
