Folded Wire Loop Bonding for Semiconductor Interconnections
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electrical interconnection techniques for semiconductor devices, such as wire bonding, often fail to provide sufficient adhesive force and mechanical durability, leading to potential damage and breakage of the bonding wire.
Innovation Solution
The implementation of a wire loop with a folded portion that extends from one end and is bonded to a semiconductor device using a specific overlapping trajectory, forming a stitch bonding portion with enhanced adhesive force and mechanical strength, which includes a first folded portion connected to the wire loop, a second folded portion extending from the first, and a tail end protruding from the second folded portion, improving the interface between the folded portions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If a simple wire bonding technique is used to connect bonding pads, then the manufacturing process is simple and fast, but the adhesive force and mechanical durability are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The bonding structure is segmented into multiple functional portions: a ball bonding portion for initial connection, a wire loop for electrical connection, and a stitch bonding portion with folded portions for enhanced adhesion. This segmentation allows each portion to perform its specific function optimally, resolving the contradiction between strength and complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The bonding approach transitions from a simple linear wire connection to a multi-dimensional folded structure. The first and second folded portions create a three-dimensional configuration that increases contact area and bonding strength without significantly increasing horizontal space occupation, thus improving strength while controlling complexity.
2Reliability
If a wire loop with folded portions is used to enhance adhesive force, then the mechanical durability is improved, but the bonding process becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The bonding apparatus employs dynamic trajectory control to automatically form the complex folded portions. The stitch bonding process uses a programmed overlapping trajectory that dynamically moves the bonding tool through specific paths (first upward direction, first downward diagonal direction, second upward direction, second downward diagonal direction) to create the folded structure, making the complex process controllable and repeatable.
Solution Approach 2:
The wire loop structure itself serves multiple functions: it provides electrical connection, mechanical support, and the folded portions automatically create the enhanced bonding interface. The tail end protruding from the second folded portion provides additional bonding capability, allowing the structure to self-reinforce without requiring separate additional components or processes.
3Strength
If an overlapping stitch bond with folded portions is formed, then the interface between folded portions is improved, but the bonding time and process complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The stitch bonding process uses a continuous overlapping trajectory without interruption. The bonding apparatus moves continuously through the four trajectory directions, creating overlapping folded portions in a single continuous operation. This continuity ensures strong interface bonding between folded portions while minimizing idle time between bonding actions.

AI summary
An electrical interconnection includes a wire loop having a first end bonded to a first bonding site using a first bonding portion, and a second end bonded to a second bonding site using a second bonding portion. The second bonding portion includes a folded portion having a wire that extends from the second end of the wire loop and is folded on the second bonding site. The folded portion includes a first folded portion connected to the second end of the wire loop and extending toward the first bonding site, a second folded portion provided on the first folded portion, and a tail protruding from a portion of the second folded portion. An interface is formed between the first and second folded portions. A top surface of the second folded portion includes an inclined surface recessed toward the first folded portion.
