  • Patent number: 11791304
    Abstract: Provided is a method for bonding an insulated coating wire, which is capable of stably bonding a metal wire in an insulated coating wire and an electrode. One aspect of the present invention provides a method for bonding an insulated coating wire for electrically connecting a first electrode 12 and a second electrode to each other by an insulated coating wire 11 in which a metal wire is coated with an organic substance, the method including: a step (a) for placing the insulated coating wire 11 onto the first electrode 12; a step (b) for exposing a metal wire from the insulated coating wire; and a step (c) for forming a first bump over the exposed metal wire and the first electrode to electrically connect the metal wire to the first electrode.

  • Patent number: 11302667
    Abstract: To provide a wire bonding apparatus, which is insusceptible to a bonding state at a second bonding point due to a wire cut error or the like, or to members such as a capillary and a wire, and is capable of automatically protruding the wire from a leading end of the capillary, provided is a wire bonding apparatus including: a capillary (6) having a through hole through which a wire (40) is to be inserted; a holding unit, which is provided above the capillary (6), and is configured to hold the wire (40) inserted through the capillary (6); and a vibrating unit configured to vertically vibrate the capillary (6). Under a state in which the holding unit holds the wire (40), the vibrating unit vertically vibrates the capillary (6) so that the wire (40) is protruded from the leading end of the capillary.

  • Patent number: 8651355
    Abstract: To provide a bonding apparatus capable of bonding at a high speed without performing a height measurement of a bonding point before a searching operation and the bonding. A confocal optical system mounted on a bonding arm pivotable upward and downward and configured to perform detection of a focus of a bonding point located on a surface of a bonded part, a bonding tool configured to be movable integrally with the bonding arm and perform bonding, and position detecting means configured to detect the position of the bonding tool, wherein the bonding tool is configured to move downward by a predetermined distance from a position of the bonding tool detected by the position detecting means by focus detection by the confocal optical system to a preset bonding point (amount of downward movement from a focus) during the downward movement of the bonding tool to the bonding point and stop on the bonding point.
