Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent a wire from coming out from a capillary by a method wherein a current value flowing between a clamper and an electric torch is detected and the clamper is controlled to be opened or shut in accordance with the value in order to detect a ball formation error on the basis of the current value flowing at a spark and to control the clamper. CONSTITUTION:The followings are installed: an electric torch 5 used to form a ball 1a by melting the tip of a wire 1; a current detection means 6 used to detect a current value flowing between a clamper 3 and the electric torch 5 at a spark. When the current value is a prescribed value or higher, it is judged that the ball has been formed and the clamper 3 is opened; an ordinary wire bonding operation is executed; when the value is less than the prescribed value, it is prevented that the wire 1 comes out from a capillary 2 while the clamper 3 is kept shut; a restoring operation is started.

and,! #6 As shown in Figure (a), the capillary 32
is in the raised position, a ball 31& is formed at the tip of the wire 31, and the clamper 33 is open, then the capillary 32 is lowered as shown by the arrow to remove the semiconductor 3 on the substrate 36.
#S1 bonding part 38 is formed by bonding the tip of the wire to the electrode formed in capillary 3.
2 and relative movement of the substrate 36,
The cavity 2 32 is lowered again, and as shown in FIG. 6(b), the wire 31 is bonded to the electrode on the substrate 36 to form a second bonding part 39, and then as shown in FIG. After raising the capillary 32 with an appropriate separation, the wire 31 is sandwiched between the clampers 33, and then both the capillary 32 and the clamper 33 are raised to cut the wire 31 at the second bonding part 39, and then as shown in FIG. 6(d). As shown in the figure, the capillary 32 is raised to the raised position, the electric torch 35 that was waiting on the side is moved to a position below the capillary 32, and a spark is generated between the tip of the protruding wire 31 and the electric torch 35. Wire bonding is performed sequentially by repeating a series of operations in which a ball 31a is formed at the tip of the wire.

By the way, when forming the second bonding g39, the wire 31 may break, in which case,
As shown in FIG. 7(a), even if the capillary 32 is raised a suitable distance, the wire 31 rises together with the wire 31 and its tip does not protrude from the tip of the capillary 32. Therefore, the 71st
! As shown in I(1+), the capillary 32 is moved upward to l! ! Even if it is lifted by a book, no spark is generated between the tip of the wire 31 and the electric torch 35, and no ball 31a is formed.

Further, from this state, as shown by the arrow in FIG. 7(b), when the second pump 33 is opened and the next operation is started, the puff tension device 34 is opened as shown in FIG. 8(a). Since a pack tension is added to the wire 31, the wire 31 is attached to the capillary 32 as shown in FIG. 8(b).
The wire 31 is removed from the id 40.
It is detected that the wire 31 is disconnected from the wire 31, and the device is thereby stopped.

Problem to be Solved by the Invention However, the wire 31 is once connected to the capillary 32 in this way.
If the device stops while being removed from the capillary, it is necessary to pass the wire 31 through the capillary 32 again to restore normal operation. There was a problem that the work was difficult and time consuming because it had to be passed through.

To further restore normal operation, first see Figure 10(a).
As shown in FIG. 3, an operator holds the wire 31 with tweezers and draws it out, causes the wire 31 to protrude from the tip of the capillary 32, bends the tip 31b, and then lowers the capillary 32 into the empty space of the substrate 36. Figure 10 (b
), a sacrificial bonding part 42 corresponding to the second bonding part 39 is formed, and then the capillary 32
After raising the wire 31 by a suitable distance and successfully breaking the wire 31, the capillary 32 is raised to the raised position W1, and a spark is generated between the tip of the wire 31 and the electric torch 35 to form a ball 31a. This method requires manual labor, is time consuming, and is inefficient, and also poses problems such as the wire bonding device remaining stopped when unmanned work is performed at night.

Further, an electric torch 5 is provided which generates a spark between the tip of the wire 1 after each wiring is completed, and melts the tip of the wire 1 to form a ball 1a.
2c) Current detection means 6 for detecting the value of the current flowing between -5 and 5 is provided, and a detection signal is input to the clamper control means 3a.

If the current value detected by the current detection means 6 is equal to or greater than a predetermined value, it is determined that a ball is formed;
Moving from (a) to (b) in Figure 2, the clamper 3 is opened and a normal wire bonding operation is performed, and if it is less than a predetermined value, then insufficient current to form a ball was not flowing. It is determined that no ball has been formed, and the process moves from (a) to (c) in FIG. It is configured to move to manual return or automatic return operation.

First, it is determined whether or not a ball has been formed as described above, and if it has not been formed, an ultrasonic wave is applied to the capillary 2 while the clamper 3 is closed and stopped, and this cavity 2 is raised an appropriate distance. By doing this, the wire 1 was made to protrude from the tip of the capillary 2, and then the electric torch 5 was moved to the spark position, and then the clamper 3 and the capillary 2 were lowered, and the tip of the wire 1 and the electric torch 5 came into contact and became electrically conductive. If there is no conduction, the wire 1 is not protruding, so the process stops and an error message is displayed. When conduction is established, the clamper 3 and capillary 2 are raised by a certain amount, and then a spark is generated between the clamper 3 and the electric tow 5 to form a ball. And if it returns to its original state and forms a ball,
The clamper 3 is opened and normal bonding operation begins.
