Abstract

This paper presents the recent study by investigating the vital responses of wire bonding with the application of conduction pre-heating. It is observed through literature reviews that, the effect of pre-heating has not been completely explored to enable the successful application of pre-heating during wire bonding. The aim of wire bonding is to form quality and reliable solid-state bonds to interconnect metals such as gold wires to metalized pads deposited on silicon integrated circuits. Typically, there are 3 main wire bonding techniques applied in the industry; Thermo-compression, Ultrasonic and Thermosonic. This experiment utilizes the most common and widely used platform which is thermosonic bonding. This technique is explored with the application of conduction pre-heating along with heat on the bonding site, ultrasonic energy and force on an Au-Al system. Sixteen groups of bonding conditions which include eight hundred data points of shear strength at various temperature settings were compared to establish the relationship between bonding strength and the application of conduction pre-heating. The results of this study will clearly indicate the effects of applied conduction pre-heating towards bonding strength which may further produce a robust wire bonding system.

Highlights

  • The revolution that began over a hundred years ago with the discovery of electricity and the rapid electrification of your society has transformed the means of communication amongst many others

  • The result of this study showed, there was significant difference in the bonding strength response with the usage of conduction pre-heating as compared against the conventional non conduction pre-heated samples

  • It was evident that, adequate heat supplied via conduction pre-heating is able to deliver improved intermetallic coverage

Summary

Introduction

The revolution that began over a hundred years ago with the discovery of electricity and the rapid electrification of your society has transformed the means of communication amongst many others. Upon application of the primary factors to form an intermetallic coverage (IMC) that makes the connection on the bond pad of a die, the wire is lifted to form a loop and placed in contact with the desired bond area of a leadframe to form a wedge bond. In this process, the bonding temperature is one of the main bonding parameters which play an important role in the bonding [4]. Sixteen groups of bonding conditions which includes eight hundred data points of shear strength at various temperature settings were compared to establish the relationship between bonding strength and the application of conduction pre-heating
