What it is

The Shinkawa UTC 5000 is a wire bonder used in semiconductor packaging and bonding.[1][2]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

A wire bonder places and bonds fine wire interconnects between a die and its package or substrate pads.

A packaging bonder in this class aligns the workpiece and bonding tool, applies controlled energy and force, and creates the interconnects needed for device assembly.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

The UTC 5000 belongs in the back-end assembly flow, after wafer processing and singulation and before final package completion and test.

The UTC 5000 sits in the bonding step where the die is attached into a package assembly and electrical paths are formed to the package interconnect structure.

Applications

The UTC 5000 is used for semiconductor package assembly that requires wire interconnection.[1][2]
