What it is

General reference — not yet source-verified

The West Bond 7434 is a wire bonder, a class of machine used in semiconductor packaging to create electrical interconnections between a semiconductor die and its package or substrate.

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

Wire bonders form connections by feeding a fine wire through a bonding tool and applying a combination of force, heat, and ultrasonic energy to create welded attachments at each bond site.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

Wire bonding is a back-end assembly process step performed after wafer dicing and die attach, and before encapsulation or molding of the packaged device.

The bonder typically receives singulated dies that have been mounted on a leadframe or substrate and are ready for electrical interconnection.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

Wire bonders are used in packaging a wide range of semiconductor devices, including integrated circuits, discrete semiconductors, light-emitting diodes, and power modules.
