Abstract: A system for inserting a wire into a semiconductor chip system includes positioning members for deploying and moving a length of the wire between a first end and a second end of a workspace. A handling device of the system is configured to handle the semiconductor chip, and is capable of placing the chip in an insertion position in which a groove of the chip is placed opposite the wire. A positioning member of the system is configured to arrange a longitudinal section of the wire along the groove, in forced abutment against a pad of the chip made of a bonding material having a melting point. A heating member of the system is configured to heat a zone comprising the pad to a processing temperature above the melting point to melt the pad and provoke insertion of the wire into the groove.

Abstract: The invention relates to a functional chip (100) of which at least two electrical connection pads (11a, 11b) are intended for being connected to wire elements (40a, 40b). Said chip comprises: —a substrate (10) comprising a microelectronic component electrically connected to the two electrical connection pads arranged on a front face of said substrate (10), —a cover (20) comprising a first portion (21) assembled to the front face of the substrate (10), said first portion (21) forming a spacer between the two electrical connection pads; the cover (20) further comprising a second portion (22) spaced apart from the front face of the substrate (10) and extending opposite each electrical connection pad only partially, so as to allow access to said pads, along an axis (z) normal to the front face of the substrate (10). The invention likewise relates to a method for manufacturing such a functional chip.

Abstract: A method for inserting a wire into a longitudinal groove of a semiconductor chip for the assembly thereof, the groove containing a pad made of a bonding material having a set melting point, comprises: in a positioning step, placing a longitudinal section of the wire along the groove, in forced abutment against the pad; and, in an insertion step, exposing a zone containing at least one portion of the pad to a processing temperature higher than the melting point of the bonding material and for a sufficient time to make the pad at least partially melt, and causing the wire to be inserted into the groove. The present disclosure also relates to a piece of equipment allowing the insertion method to be implemented.
