Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cleaver, especially a lead bonding cleaver. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the lead bonding process, the welding processing surface characteristics of the cleaver have a crucial influence on the bonding effect. In the prior art, the welding processing surface is too smooth, which brings a series of adverse effects.

[0003] From the aspect of contact with the metal wire, when the welding processing surface is too smooth, the first problem faced in contact with the aluminum wire or the copper wire is the stability of contact. In actual bonding operation, the cleaver needs to be able to stably fix the metal wire to ensure the accuracy of subsequent operation. However, the friction between the smooth welding processing surface and the metal wire is extremely small, which is difficult to provide sufficient holding force.

[0004] From the microscopic point of view, the surface of the aluminum wire and the copper wire is not absolutely smooth, but there is a microscopic fluctuation, and the too smooth welding processing surface cannot form effective mechanical engagement with the microscopic structure of the metal wire surface, which leads to the fact that the metal wire is easy to slide on the welding processing surface in the bonding process. Especially for the aluminum wire which is relatively soft in texture, due to its own characteristics, it is more likely to deform when subjected to external force, and the smooth welding processing surface cannot provide sufficient constraint, not only easy to make the aluminum wire deform unnecessarily in the bonding process, but also may cause its rupture. Moreover, the aluminum wire surface is easy to form an oxide layer, and the smooth welding processing surface is not conducive to penetrating this oxide film to form a good electrical connection with the aluminum wire. As for the copper wire, although its hardness is relatively high, it also needs the cleaver to be able to stably press down during bonding, and the smooth surface makes it difficult for the copper wire to fully adhere to the surface of the cleaver during the bonding process, affecting the subsequent operation.

[0005] Existing smooth welding surfaces have serious defects in ultrasonic energy transfer. Ultrasonic energy transfer is a crucial step in wire bonding, relying on close contact between the wedge and the metal wire. However, overly smooth welding surfaces hinder the effective transfer of ultrasonic energy. From an energy transfer efficiency perspective, smooth surfaces cannot effectively transfer the vibrational energy generated by the ultrasonic generator to the metal wire. During energy transfer, ultrasonic energy needs to be transferred from the wedge to the metal wire and then to the weld joint to promote the fusion of metal atoms. However, due to poor contact between the smooth surface and the metal wire, significant energy loss occurs during transfer, such as scattering and reflection, resulting in insufficient effective energy reaching the weld joint. Furthermore, regarding the uniformity of energy transfer, smooth surfaces lack structures to guide the uniform distribution of energy, leading to uneven ultrasonic energy transfer across the cross-section of the metal wire. This results in energy concentration in certain parts of the metal wire during weld joint formation, while other parts receive insufficient energy, leading to incomplete or excessive melting in certain areas, severely impacting weld quality.

[0006] These problems, caused by overly smooth welding surfaces, ultimately have a significant negative impact on the quality and reliability of the solder joints. Because the metal wires cannot be effectively pressed together for ultrasonic energy transfer, the metal atoms at the solder joint cannot fully fuse. In real-world applications, electronic products may be exposed to various external factors such as temperature changes and mechanical vibrations. Under these conditions, insufficiently fused solder joints are prone to cracking or detachment, leading to solder joint failure. Furthermore, uneven energy transfer can create defects such as pores and inclusions within the solder joint, weakening its structural strength and significantly reducing its reliability over long-term use. In fields with extremely high reliability requirements, such as aerospace and automotive electronics, low-reliability solder joints can pose serious safety hazards, affecting the normal operation of the entire equipment and even endangering life and property. Utility Model Content

[0007] To solve the above problems, this utility model proposes a wire bonding cutter, including a handle and a cutter head. The cutter head has a wire through groove for metal wires to pass through. The wire through groove includes an arc-shaped bottom surface and welding processing surfaces located on both sides of the arc-shaped bottom surface. The welding processing surfaces are provided with surface texture.

[0008] Furthermore, the surface texture includes a wear-resistant layer.

[0009] Furthermore, a bonding layer is included beneath the wear-resistant layer.

[0010] Furthermore, the wear-resistant layer is made of tungsten-doped diamond or chromium-doped diamond, and the bonding layer is made of tungsten nitride or chromium nitride.

[0011] Further, the surface texture of the welding processing surface is circular or polygonal.

[0012] Further, the surface texture is square, diamond, pentagonal or hexagonal.

[0013] Further, the surface of the arc-shaped bottom surface has a plurality of protrusions.

[0014] Further, the surface of the arc-shaped bottom surface has a plurality of grooves.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the utility model lie in that: through the surface texture on the welding processing surface of the utility model, the surface height of the welding surface is basically consistent, the surface texture can not only guarantee that the surface has a certain roughness, but also can avoid that the welding processing surface is too smooth to press the aluminum wire or copper wire to effectively transmit the ultrasonic energy and cause the welding point to fail, and meanwhile, the reliability of the welding point can be increased. In addition, the protrusions or grooves on the arc-shaped surface can increase the friction of the aluminum wire or copper wire and avoid that the copper wire or aluminum wire slides in the welding process.
