Abstract: An electrical circuit in a semiconductor package may include a wire connected at each end by a bond point formed using a wire-bonding machine. When a connection point (e.g., a die pad) has a very small dimension, the wire used for the circuit may be required to have a similarly small diameter. This small diameter can lead to a weak bond point, especially in bonds that include a heel portion. The heel portion is a transition region of the bond point that may have less strength (e.g., as measure by a pull-test) than other portions of the bond point and/or may be exposed to more forces than other portions of the bond point. Accordingly, a capping-bond point may be applied to the bond point to strengthen the bond point by clamping the heel portion and shielding it from forces that could cause cracks.
