Hiromi Fujisawa has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 8042725
    Abstract: The invention provides a wire bonding method which enables formation of a low loop having a height not exceeding two times the wire diameter and secures sufficient pull strength of the wire even with the low loop shape. After having formed a contact-bonded ball at a first bonding point, a capillary moves upward and then toward a second bonding point to press a side surface of an upper portion of the contact-bonded ball, so that a protruded portion is formed on a top portion of the contact-bonded ball on the side of the second bonding point. After having formed the protruded portion of the contact-bonded ball, the capillary moves upward, and then downward while moving toward the second bonding point to press the protruded portion, so that a wire drawing portion for drawing the wire from the top portion of the contact-bonded ball horizontally is formed.

  • Patent number: 8016182
    Abstract: A wire loop includes a wire connecting a first bonding point and a second bonding point therethrough, wherein an additional wire loop is formed after wire bonding at the second bonding point without cutting the wire and the additional wire loop is bonded to the second bonding point or to the vicinity thereof while part of the wire is crushed.

  • Patent number: 7815095
    Abstract: A wire loop comprises a wire connecting a first bonding point and a second bonding point therethrough, wherein the wire includes a ball bonded to the first bonding point, a neck portion adjacent to the ball and a major portion extending from the neck portion to the second bonding point. The neck portion includes a riser part which extends, from the bonded ball, obliquely upward in a direction toward the second bonding point, and the riser part is formed by a top portion of the ball which has entered an opening of a capillary and been shaped at the time of ball bonding. The riser part is formed by inclining the top portion of the ball, which enters the opening of the capillary at the time of ball bonding, which inclining is done by moving the capillary obliquely upward toward the second bonding point.

  • Patent number: 7262124
    Abstract: A wire loop comprises a wire connecting a first bonding point and a second bonding point therethrough, wherein the wire has a crushed part formed therein by crushing the part of the wire and a top of a ball bonded to the first bonding point with a capillary. The wire loop is formed by a wire bonding method which includes: bonding the wire to the first bonding point; moving the capillary horizontally and vertically while carrying out loop control; bonding the wire to the vicinity of the top of the ball bonded to the first bonding point; and thereafter, moving the capillary horizontally and vertically to the second bonding point while delivering the wire and carrying out loop control, and then bonding the wire to the second bonding point.
