Summary: | There are more than 8 to 9 billion wires bonded every year on average in the planet and
more than 160 billion Integrated Chips (ICs) produced went through wire bonding
process. With the increased use of wire bonding and extensive infrastructure for chipinterconnection
on wire bonding, more and more industries are driving wire bonding
technology toward increasing yields, decreasing pitches and lowest possible and ever
decreasing cost.
The need for reliability in wire bonding is a necessary step in order to understand how
the degradation of wire bonding that leads to the breaking of wires. This study involved
two types of stress test conditions, temperature cycle and thermal shock. These two
types of stress tests will be analysed to find the correlation and failure analysis to
understand the degradation of the copper wire bonding.
In this report, it also includes a methodology of measuring the currents and voltages to
find the resistance changes and thus by identifying the resistance changes, the
degradation on the wire bonding can be observed. |
