Dear Birck Research Community,

The Purdue winter recess begins effective Friday afternoon December 20th and concludes Thursday morning, January 2. The university is officially closed during this time. As we have done in past years, the Birck Nanotechnology Center will remain available for research but will be unstaffed and hazardous gasses will be unavailable. Lab work may otherwise proceed, though any fume hood work must be done with someone else present in the same laboratory or cleanroom bay (the "buddy" system). Click the link above to get more detail about equipment conditions and rules.

Overview

General Description

These systems use gold wire to bond. The pad surfaces to be bonded must be compatible with gold or the bonds will not stick. Gold, copper, anuminum, or silver work well. Titanium, ITO, and diamond can not be wire bonded

Specifications

The West Bond bonder has 25 micron gold wire and is operated manually. The K&S bonder has a wire size of 125 microns by 25 microns and may be operated manually or by programming. The pads must be larger than the size of a wire bond foot. Wire bond feet are typically 50 microns in width and 75 microns long. The recommended pads are 100 x100 microns minimum size on both chip and package for the West Bond. 100 x 150 microns for the K&S Ribbon Bonder.
