  • Patent number: 11631653
    Abstract: An ultrasonic bonding apparatus includes an ultrasonic bonding machine having an ultrasonic tool for applying an ultrasonic wave to a bonding target member mounted on a fixed object fixed to a jig, while pressing a bonding member against the bonding target member; and a bonding inspection apparatus for inspecting a bonding quality of the bonding target member and the bonding member. The bonding inspection apparatus includes: a bonded-state measuring device for detecting a vibration in the jig or a housing of the ultrasonic bonding machine equipped with the jig, to thereby output a detection signal; and a bonded-state determination device for determining, in a bonding process for the bonding target member and the bonding member, a bonded state between the bonding target member and the bonding member on the basis of the detection signal outputted by the bonded-state measuring device.

  • Patent number: 10872877
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes: forming a first electrode and a second electrode on an insulating layer so as to be apart from each other; forming a barrier made of same material as a metal terminal on a peripheral portion of an ultrasonic bonding portion of the metal terminal; and applying pressing force and ultrasonic vibration to the ultrasonic bonding portion of the metal terminal by using an ultrasonic tool to ultrasonically bond the metal terminal to the first electrode.
