  • Patent number: 6079610
    Abstract: A ball is formed at the tip of a wire projecting from a capillary. The capillary is positioned above an interconnection, and ball bonding forms a bump on the interconnection. The capillary is then moved next to the bump and wedge bonding is carried out. Next, the capillary is moved upward and another ball is formed at the tip of the wire, and the wire is primary bonded to a bonding pad of a semiconductor chip. The wire is then looped and the capillary is positioned above the bump, and secondary bonding is carried out. As a result, the formation of tails on the bump is prevented.

  • Patent number: 5657203
    Abstract: In order to provide an electronic device that has high package density and can facilitate electrical connection between a plurality of circuit boards therein, the electronic device comprises a frame having two mutually opposed openings through major planes, a plurality of circuit boards disposed in the frame parallel to the major plane, and mounted selected electronic circuits thereon respectively, and first and second closure lids for closing the openings in the major plane; the first closure lid contacting with the surface of at least one of the circuit boards, on which no electronic circuit is mounted. Also, on the inner wall of the frame; appropriate stepped portions are formed for supporting the closure lid member, the supporting plate, the circuit board and so forth, Furthermore, in the stepped portion, a portion to accommodate an excess amount of an adhesive is provided.
