Course Description:

This wire bonding professional development course provides a deep dive into wire bonding technologies, techniques, process development, and optimization. The course will introduce wire bonding technologies from thin wire ball bonding and large wire wedge bonding to heavy ultrasonic copper ribbon bonding. After the introduction we present wire bonding fundamentals, the physics of bonding, and the material science to understand the bonding process, process optimization, and reliability. We share practical methods for the wire bond process optimization, including parameter selection, destructive and non-destructive testing, and how to use analysis tools such as trace analysis, DOE, and response surface. The course will also highlight recent advances in wire bonding technology and process development. This course is for anyone who wants to learn or deepen their understanding of wire bonding. Beginners will get practical information on how to improve the bonding process and seasoned professionals will get in-depth science-based knowledge in wire bonding, including references and links to the source materials.
