Abstract

In-situ observation was performed on a transparent silica substrate during ultrasonic Al ribbon bonding, using a high-speed video camera with differing frame rates, 104 fps and 103 fps, to clarify the adhesion behavior. The bonding process was observed as follows. Initially, friction slip occurred, producing multiple island streaks in the direction parallel to the ultrasonic vibration. The island streaks were formed as a scratch, due to surface waviness of the Al ribbon. Momentarily, a belt-shaped bond zone was formed at the center, normally due to the ultrasonic vibration. The island streaks could be clearly observed at 104 fps. However, the central belt zone was unclear and appeared translucent at 104 fps; although it was clear when observed at 103 fps. The island streaks were unclear at 103 fps. The positional relation of the island streaks and the central belt zone was confirmed from in-situ observation results of a twist and peel test of Al ribbon bonded to silica substrate. The central belt zone was between the island streaks and the silica substrate.

Highlights

Solid state ultrasonic bonding renders it possible to bond similar and dissimilar materials directly and within a short duration [1,2,3,4,5,6]
The amplitude became larger as the ultrasonic power was increased, under identical load conditions
The island streaks combined with one another; W adopted in the present study provide some fluctuation to the initial large sliding; these but Area A did not change to Area B

Summary

Introduction

Solid state ultrasonic bonding renders it possible to bond similar and dissimilar materials directly and within a short duration [1,2,3,4,5,6]. The dominant mechanism consists of friction slip, plastic deformation, frictional heating and interfacial reaction (interdiffusion) [9,10,11,12,13,14,22]. These mechanism elements influence each other; their contributions are changed by the bonding conditions (bonding force, Fb , and ultrasonic power, Pu ) [1,3,9,10,11,12,13,16,17,18]. The increase in frictional force (shear force) in a direction parallel to the bonding interface contributes to the softening effect [1,21,23,24,25], as it is related to frictional slip and interfacial adhesion
