Patents by Inventor Shinobu Ishii

Shinobu Ishii 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: 6715666
    Abstract: A wire bonding method, a bump forming method and a bump which are capable of preventing contact of a wire with a substrate or a conductive lead after the wire is bonded to a bump, and which are capable of preventing generation of bending in the wire during bonding of the wire to the bump are disclosed. When a first conductor and a second conductor are wire bonded, a bump is previously formed on the second conductor by ball bonding. An inclined surface is formed on an upper end of the bump by moving a capillary along a predetermined path to operate the capillary. First bonding of a wire to the first conductor is carried out, then the wire is looped from the first conductor to the bump, and second bonding of the wire onto the inclined surface of the bump is carried out.
