Tutorial course contents

An introduction to wire bonding

Course tutor: Dr George Harman

All fully paid attendees will receive a copy of Harman's new (second edition) book on wire bonding:

  • How ultrasonic bonds are formed: tools, mechanisms, effects.

  • Bonding wire issues: wire metallurgy, wire ageing, wire burn-out.

  • Wire bond testing: non-destructive pull, ball bond shear, thermal stress test for reliability.

  • Intermetallic compounds: gold-aluminium, Kirkendall voiding, early failures, impurity accelerated failures, reversing the bonded interface, non-Au-Al bonds (Cu-Al, Cu-Au, Al-Ni, Al-Ag), bonding to Pd plated leads and boards, reliability of various metallurgies, Au-Au bond improvements.

  • Bond failures from plating impurities: specific impurities, H2 gas problems, recommendations for reliable platings, metallic impurities not from the plating process.

  • Cleaning to improve bondability and reliability: plasma, UV-ozone, solvents, new H2-A plasma, reliability improvement, sensitivity to surface contamination.

  • Cratering in Si and GaAs: synergistic effects, detecting marginal cratering, GaAs cratering.

  • Mechanical problems in wire bonding: poor machine set up, cracks under heels of ultrasonic bonds, fatigue, accelerated vibrations and new long wire problems, power and temperature cycling effects.

  • High yield (6 sigma) and fine pitch bonding: approaching 50ppm defect levels, fine pitch (<< 80 microns), the SIA road map projections and how to get there.

  • Wire bonding in MCMs: MCM-C, MCM-L and MCM-D and hybrid circuits, "cupping" metal bond pads, soft (compliant) substrates (pad sinking), instituting ultrasonic delays to improve yield, optimising wire bonds for high frequency MCMs.

  • Comparisons between TAB and wire bonding: ball bumping of chips for TAB and flip chip.

George Harman, Fellow of US National Institute of Standards and Technology, Fellow of IEEE and IMAPS, published more than 45 papers. Eminent author and authority on wire bonding. Recipient of many distinguished awards.
