(Prior Art) The most important factor that determines the quality of bonding in a wire bonder is the size of the ball formed at the tip of the wire. The size of the ball is determined by the wire material, wire diameter, and the strength of the spark between the tip of the wire and the spark rod when the ball is formed. The strength of the spark corresponds to the magnitude of the current flowing through the spark (hereinafter referred to as spark current), so conventionally, even if the distance between the tip of the wire and the spark rod when forming a ball changes, In order to keep the spark current constant so that a ball of the same size can be obtained, the spark generator is controlled to keep its output current constant.

That is, the output current of the spark generator flows even if there is a wire touch in which the tip of the wire and the spark rod are in contact, or even if there is a leak where current flows between the tip of the wire and the spark rod. When a wire touch occurs, no ball is formed even if the output current of the spark generator can be controlled to be constant. Also, when a leak occurs, the spark current and the output current of the spark generator do not maintain a constant relationship because the atmosphere around the spark rod changes, so even if the output current of the spark generator is controlled to be constant, The spark current is not necessarily constant, so balls of a predetermined size cannot be stably formed.

The drive power supply applies a predetermined voltage to the photomultiplier tube. When ultraviolet rays generated by sparks generated by a wire bonder when forming a ball enter a photomultiplier tube to which a predetermined voltage is applied, a cathode current corresponding to the intensity of the ultraviolet rays flows. The ultraviolet light detection circuit detects the cathode current and outputs a corresponding ultraviolet detection signal. The spark generation power supply circuit receives the ultraviolet ray detection signal and outputs it until the level reaches a preset level value that corresponds to the intensity of ultraviolet rays when a ball of a predetermined size is formed. The current is increased or decreased to a predetermined spark current between the tip of the wire and the spark rod. When the spark current reaches a predetermined magnitude, the spark reaches a predetermined strength, so a ball is formed to a predetermined size, and at the same time, ultraviolet rays of a predetermined intensity directly corresponding to the spark strength are emitted. be done. As a result, the level of the ultraviolet detection signal becomes the same as the preset level value that corresponds to the intensity of ultraviolet rays when a ball of a predetermined size is formed, so the spark generation power supply circuit The output current no longer increases or decreases, and maintains a constant current value corresponding to the predetermined spark strength.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an embodiment of a spark control device for a wire bonder according to the present invention. In the figure, a predetermined voltage is applied to a photomultiplier tube 1 by a driving power source 2. As shown in FIG. When the spark generator 10 applies a voltage between the tip of the wire 11 and the spark rod 15 and sparks fly between them, the ultraviolet rays generated by this spark enter the photomultiplier tube 1, and the intensity of the ultraviolet rays increases. A cathode current corresponding to the current flows. The current-voltage conversion circuit 3 detects this cathode current, converts it into voltage, and sends an ultraviolet detection voltage signal 5 to the comparison section 6 of the spark generator 10. A reference voltage corresponding to the intensity of ultraviolet rays when a ball of a predetermined size is formed is set in advance in the spark generator 10, and a comparison unit 6 compares the voltage value of the reference voltage signal 7 with the ultraviolet rays. The difference between the voltage values of the detected voltage signals 5 is output. The control amplifier 8 receives and amplifies the difference between the two voltages, and based on this amplified value, issues a command to increase or decrease the output current of the spark generator 10 so as to eliminate the difference between the spark command voltage and the ultraviolet detection voltage. is sent to the power amplifier 9. The power amplifier 9 has a power source that applies a high voltage between the tip of the wire 11 and the spark rod 15, and increases or decreases the output current according to commands from the control amplifier 8.

As a result of controlling the output current of the spark generator 10, the tip of the wire 11 and the spark rod 15
When the spark between them reaches a predetermined strength, the ball is made to a predetermined size, and at the same time, ultraviolet rays are emitted with a predetermined intensity that directly corresponds to the strength of the spark. Therefore, since the ultraviolet detection voltage becomes the same as the reference voltage, the control amplifier 8 no longer sends a command to the power amplifier 9 to increase or decrease the output current, and the spark generator 10

A constant current is maintained at intervals of 5 and the atmosphere around the current spark rod 15 to emit sparks of a predetermined intensity.
