  • Patent number: 7906858
    Abstract: A method for establishing an electrical connection between a first contact surface and a second contact surface, with a wire-bonding tool being used to provide a contact wire between the contact surfaces by bonding the contact wire to the first contact surface and subsequently leading it to the second contact surface, bonding it to the latter, and subsequently, separating it using the wire-bonding tool. After the contact wire has been separated from the second contact surface, the wire-bonding tool is used to provide the contact point with an additional contact securing element via the contact wire.

  • Patent number: 6467677
    Abstract: A method for making an electrical connection between a first contact surface and a second contact surface. A contacting wire is arranged between the contact surfaces with the assistance of a wire-bonding device by contacting the contacting wire initially with the first contact surface and then with the second contact surface, and subsequently cutting off the contacting wire with the assistance of the wire-bonding device. Provision is made for contact metallization composed of the material of the contacting wire to be produced on the second contact surface using the wire-bonding device prior to contacting the first contact surface.

  • Patent number: 6134777
    Abstract: A method for producing wire connections that makes possible the production of retaining bonds. The method involves a calculation of the arrangement of the retaining bonds as a function of the current actual position of the wire connections that are respectively to be equipped with preferably one retaining bond.
