What it is

The Kulicke & Soffa 8028 SG Ball is a ball bonder used in semiconductor packaging and bonding.[1]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

A ball bonder joins fine wire to pads by forming a bond at the wire end and then attaching the wire to selected locations on the device or package.

Ball bonding equipment is used to make electrical and mechanical interconnects during packaging operations.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

The K&S 8028 SG Ball Bonder belongs in the packaging and assembly portion of semiconductor manufacturing after device fabrication.

The K&S 8028 SG Ball Bonder supports wire-bond interconnection between a die and its package or lead structure before final assembly completion.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

Ball bonding equipment is used for semiconductor device packaging and for forming wire interconnects on integrated circuits and other microelectronic assemblies.

Ball bonding is used where fine wire connections are needed between a chip and its package interface.
