What it is

West Bond 7600B is a manual wire bonder that uses a 90° vertical feed deep-access wedge bonding head.[1]

The 7600B is part of a series of West Bond wedge bonders, which includes models such as the 7400B and 7476B that share similar deep-access vertical feed configurations.[1]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

The West Bond 7600B is a manual wedge wire bonder, meaning the operator positions the bonding tool and initiates each bond by hand.

Wedge bonding uses ultrasonic energy combined with pressure to form a solid-state weld between the wire and the bond pad, without the use of a ball formation step.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

In semiconductor packaging, wire bonding follows die attach and precedes encapsulation or molding.

The wire bonder receives packaged assemblies with the die mounted on a leadframe or substrate and connects the die bond pads to the package leads or lands.
