  • Publication number: 20240274570
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a bond wire with a first end bonded by a ball bond to a planar side of a first conductive plate, and a second end bonded by a stitch bond to a conductive stud bump at an angle greater than or equal to 60 degrees. A wirebonding method includes bonding the first end of the conductive bond wire to the first conductive plate includes forming a ball bond to join the first end of the conductive bond wire to a planar side of the first conductive plate by a ball bond, and bonding the second end of the conductive bond wire to the conductive stud bump includes forming a stitch bond to join the second end of the conductive bond wire to the conductive stud bump.

  • Patent number: 11848297
    Abstract: In a described example, an apparatus includes: a package substrate having a die mount portion and lead portions spaced from the die mount portion; a semiconductor die over the die mount portion having bond pads on an active surface facing away from the package substrate; non-gold bond wires forming electrical connections between at least one of the bond pads and one of the lead portions of the package substrate; a bond stitch on bump connection formed between one of the non-gold bond wires and a bond pad of the semiconductor die, comprising a stitch bond formed on a flex stud bump; and dielectric material covering a portion of the package substrate, the semiconductor die, the non-gold bond wires, the stitch bond and the flex stud bump, forming a packaged semiconductor device.
