Wire Bonder Equipment Pros and Cons


Ball bonder vendor
  1. Kulicke & Soffa (K&S) , major market share
    1. website: https://www.kns.com/Products/Equipment/Ball-Bonder
    2. model: Maxium ultra, Elite, Connx, Iconn, Connx Plus, Iconn Plus, ProCu series for copper wire, LED series for LED
    3. personal overall point of view:
      1. Pro: 
        1. good at thin wire, fine pitch
        2. good at looping
        3. performance is stable
        4. output calibration OBPF is quite easy to carry out
      2. Con:
        1. Gas cover kit (GCK) is assembled piece by piece, which is not easy for preventing oxygen going inside.
        2. nozzle is not good at deep downset product.
        3. heavy wire solution is not good.
  2. ASM Pacific Technology (ASM), minor market share
    1. website: http://www1.asmpacific.com/en/products?equipment=4
    2. model: AB339, Eagle 60, Eagle 60AP, iHawk Xtreme, iHawk Xpress, Eagle Xtreme, iHawk Xpress, Eagle Xtreme, Eagle Xpress, and Gocu series for copper wire, LED series for LED product, and lastest platform is called "Aero", integrated with statistical function inside and new X-direction vibration for easy Aluminum splash control.
    3. personal overall point of view:
      1. Pro: 
        1. integrated heat tunnel, good at preventing bare copper leadframe from oxidation. 
        2. nozzle is good at preventing oxidation for deep downset product.
        3. good at heavy wire.
      2. Con:
        1. User interface: too many dialogue to confirm
        2. too many software version, lots of bugs
        3. repeatability is not good. could be sensitive to raw material precision.
        4. nozzle is complex (not easy for threading) and expensive.
        5. output calibration TVC is not easy to do.
  3. Others, like Shinkawa
    1. from Japan, mostly used by Japanese company.
Wedge bonder for Alumium, copper wire
OE (now is K&S), F&K

wire bonder ultrasonic energy calibration

why need to calibrate ultrasonic energy? suppose there are hundreds of machines in the plant running to produce the same product, with same parameters, than it is important to keep the energy output of each machine are very close, let's say, within acceptable variance. since there are must be some variations of the transducer dimensions, resistance of EFO wires and output of EFO boxes, the output of ultrasonic energy could be effected by these variations. when ultrasonic energy calibration is required? when changing transducer, EFO wires, FEO box practical method of ultrasonic energy calibration Gap sensor using a sensor with laser beam, to measure the displacement of capillary tip under different input setting ball shear test use a DOE matrix, with different inputs of ultrasonic energy, measure the ball shear value of each group and compare the data. peeling test use a DOE matrix, with different inputs of ultrasonic energy, do the peeling test, check when t...
