Wire bonding equipment, which is generally used for assembling integrated circuits, inserts a wire into a capillary provided in a bonding tool, presses the tip of the wire against a pellet pad that is the first bonding point, performs bonding, and then inserts the wire into the capillary. Alternatively, the lead frame is moved and crimped to the lead portion of the lead frame, which is the second bonding point. At this time, the first
Form a ball at the tip of the wire with a spark torch before crimping it to the bonding point.
This ball is pressed onto the pad. by the way,
When the wire is made of a base metal such as aluminum, the ball is easily oxidized during ball formation, and oxidation causes a disadvantage in that bonding properties are extremely reduced. Therefore, in the past, as shown in FIG.
A shielding gas supply pipe 3 is installed toward the tip of the wire 2 and the shielding gas is sprayed toward the tip of the wire 2 to shield the area of the torch electrode 4 and the tip of the wire 2 from the atmosphere and prevent the ball 5 from oxidizing. There is. Note that 6 is a bonding tool and 7 is a torch power source.

However, when setting the shielding gas supply pipe 3 toward the tip of the wire 2, it is difficult to set it under the same conditions such as the distance and angle from the tip of the wire 2. Therefore, in the case of a local shield where the atmosphere is likely to be drawn into the shielding gas, it is necessary that the shielding gas be sprayed at the same location at a stable flow rate, so the structure described above has the disadvantage that it cannot reliably prevent oxidation. . Also,
Since the shielding gas supply pipe 3 is installed close to the tip of the wire 2, it is inconvenient that it interferes with the bonding work.

When bonding the wire 13 to the pad portion of the pellet 21, first, the sparking torch main body 14 moves forward so that the torch electrode 17 faces the lower end of the capillary 12. At this time, the tip of the wire 13 inserted into the capillary 12 comes close to the lower end of the capillary 12. On the other hand, the shielding gas from the shielding gas supply source is supplied to the gas tube 18.
The area of the wire 13 of the torch electrode 17 is shielded from the atmosphere by the shield gas. When a voltage is applied to the torch electrode 17 in this state, a spark is generated and a ball 22 is formed at the tip of the wire 13. In other words, since the ball 22 is covered with a shielding gas made of an inert gas such as nitrogen or argon, surface oxidation can be prevented, improving the bonding properties of the pellet 21 to the pad, and ensuring secure compression. do.

As explained above, according to the present invention, a shielding gas supply port body is integrally sandwiched between the sparking torch body that forms a ball at the tip of the wire, and the region of the torch electrode and the tip of the wire is shielded. Since the ball is shielded from the atmosphere by gas, oxidation of the ball can be prevented and bonding properties can be improved.

Furthermore, the discharge part of the torch electrode is subject to high temperatures and wear and tear due to the movement of electrons by the discharge terminal, but by configuring the sparking torch body and the shield gas supply port separately, the torch
By using high heat-resistant materials such as (tungsten), the supply port body can be made of materials with good moldability.
When the torch electrode is worn out, only the torch electrode can be replaced, and the wear and tear on the torch electrode can be minimized while being economically advantageous.
