Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily discriminate whether or not the bonding condition of a ball section with respect to a bonding section is acceptable by detecting the position in height of a bonding tool and calculating the quantity of crush and deformation of the ball section and then comparing this value with a maximum quantity of crush and deformation, when bonding the ball section to the bonding section. SOLUTION: A ball section 10a is applied with ultrasonic vibration, being crushed and deformed with a prescribed bonding load on a bonding section 3a, to be bonded to the bonding section. A wire bonding device is provided with a height sensor for detecting the position in height of a bonding tool 5. Signals from the height sensor are inputted into a central control circuit to calculate an actual quantity H of crush and deformation of the ball section 10a by the downward movement of the bonding tool 5. The actual quantity of the crush and deformation is compared with the maximum quantity of smash and deformation. By this method, the quality of the bonding conditions of the ball sections 10a with respect to the bonding section can be discriminated easily.

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, one of wire bonding is as follows.
There is a ball-type wire bonding method. As is well known, the ball-type wire bonding method supports a metal wire in a substantially vertical shape with a bonding tool mounted on a horn, and At the lower end, a ball portion is formed by melting by electric discharge or the like, and this ball portion is
The lowering movement of the bonding tool makes contact (work touch) with the surface of a bonding portion such as an electrode on a semiconductor chip, and then applies ultrasonic vibration while crushing and deforming the ball portion with a predetermined bonding load. Is performed for a predetermined bonding time so that the ball portion is bonded to the bonding portion. When the bonding is completed, the application of the bonding load and the application of the ultrasonic vibration are stopped, and then the bonding tool is connected to the metal wire. Is moved upward without clamping.

However, since the ball portion at the tip of the metal wire is formed by melting the metal wire by electric discharge or the like, there is a large and small variation in the diameter. Moreover, the ball portion may be eccentric with respect to the axis with respect to the metal wire. However, the conventional ball-type wire bonding method requires a bonding time irrespective of the eccentricity of the diameter of the ball portion. Is always constant.

[0005] For this reason, in the conventional ball-type wire bonding method, when the diameter of the ball portion is small, the bonding load per unit area with respect to the ball portion is large and the crushing deformation of the ball portion is accelerated.
When a predetermined bonding time has elapsed, the amount of crushing deformation of the ball portion is determined to be the optimum amount of crushing deformation that can reliably join the ball portion without protruding from the bonding portion regardless of variation in diameter and eccentricity. Since the excess is exceeded, the portion protruding from the bonding portion may be damaged, and an electrical short may occur.

When the diameter of the ball portion is large,
Since the bonding load per unit area for the ball portion is small and the crushing deformation of the ball portion is delayed, the crushing deformation amount of the ball portion cannot be set to the optimum crushing deformation amount in the above-described predetermined bonding time. ,
Insufficient bonding occurs, and when the ball is eccentric to the metal wire with respect to the axis, the ball is crushed and deformed quickly, and the crushing deformation exceeds the optimal crushing deformation. There is a problem that it is protruded from the bonding portion because it becomes excessive.
