"By 2015, it is expected that more than a third of all wire bonding machines in use will be set up for copper." --> do we know, as we approach 2025, if this happened? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.251.161.68 (talk) 19:53, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please add new technologies of wire bonding using glass coated wires G.Kashian (talk) 09:31, 2 January 2017 (UTC) ^[1] and ^[2] and ^[3] this will solve the problems of oxidation of Cu.G.Kashian (talk) 09:31, 2 January 2017 (UTC) ^[4]G.Kashian (talk) 09:34, 2 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I came here to discover how they get the little wires to attach to the little chips at high rates, and came away without learning anything. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.52.156.157 (talk) 17:30, 22 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Is Cu used for wire bonding? I do not think that is possible. Cu suffers from fast oxidation which in practice leads to the use of NiAu or Au for wire bonding...

I haven't heard about the use much, but according to this web page: Kulicke & Soffa it is possible. They just seal it for storage. --KingCarrot 15:34, 2 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Does anyone know if you can wire bond 80/20 Nichrome wire to pads on a PCB? If so, a competent source to do this would be greatly appreciated.

Huh? I thought soldering is still the "primary method" of putting ICs on boards. I was wondering if it's sometimes also used to connect ICs to PCB's in the case where the IC appears under a black epoxy blob, rather than packaged with conventional pins... but this article doesn't inspire confidence, starting off with an exaggeration like that.

I was thinking the same thing. I'm fairly convinced that the primary method of connecting ICs to PCBs is through solder. It would probably be better to talk about wire bonding being the primary method of connecting a die to its package which seems more of an afterthought the way its currently worded.

ATJ abbreviation

The first sentence of the article reads: Wire bonding is the method of making interconnections (ATJ). What does the abbreviation ATJ stand for? The only meaningful search result leads me back to this article. --134.147.40.133 (talk) 08:34, 12 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Material section needs to discuss materials in order of relevance including Silver

The "Materials" section includes a list of materials, including Silver, but the text discusses the materials in a different order and omits Silver. A better strategy would be to list and discuss the material in order of relevance, discussing all of the materias listed. Godot (talk) 09:49, 13 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Wire bonding is the method of making interconnections between an integrated circuit or other semiconductor device and its packaging during semiconductor device fabrication. This macro photograph depicts a integrated circuit that functions as an intermediate-frequency amplifier and demodulator in a transceiver, with gold wire ball-bonded on a silicon die.
