MPP engineering team developed a solution for extending the life of wedges for gold wire bonding contributing to improved quality, productivity and reduction of cost.
Results at customers’ sites show an increase of more than 100% in wedge life.
This achievement is a result of an extensive development effort and a deep understanding of the mechanism causing wedge erosion.
1st Bond at beginning of wedge life
1st Bond after more than 400K
Wedge tip after more than 400K bonds still appears in good condition
