What it is
The K&S 8028 SG is a wire bonder manufactured by K&S.[1]
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedWire bonders typically use one of three bonding methods: thermocompression, thermosonic, or ultrasonic. In thermosonic bonding, heat and ultrasonic energy are applied simultaneously to melt and join the wire to the bond pad. The capillary descends, applies force, and vibrates at ultrasonic frequency to create a solid-state bond. The wire is then fed and shaped to form a loop, and the second bond is made at the package pad. The process is repeated to connect all required pads.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedThe equipment is used in both high-volume manufacturing and low-volume prototyping. The bonding parameters—such as force, ultrasonic power, temperature, and bonding time—are calibrated for different wire materials and package types.
