2D cameras for positioning and inspecting ultra-fine wires in semiconductor production

September 6, 2024 By Redding Traiger

Wire bonding is a key process in semiconductor production. Extremely fine wires with diameters of 15 to 75 micrometers are used to create tiny electrical connections between a semiconductor chip and other components. The distances between the bond wires are often less than 100 micrometers. Any deviation, however small, can lead to connection errors. Wire […]
