  • FIELD OF THE INVENTION
  • The present invention is directed to a process for bonding wires to surfaces, for example, to form electronic device probes, or to form electrical connections on electronic circuit devices and particularly to wires that are bonded at one end with the other end free.
  • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • Wire bonding techniques were first developed back in the 1950's for connecting germanium transistors to other electronic devices. Wire bonding techniques continue to be used for the vast majority of integrated circuit device connections. Thermal energy, mechanical force and ultrasonic vibrations are used to bond the tiny wires to the device terminals.
  • The Angled Flying Lead (AFL) wire bonding process disclosed herein uses the same basic processes that are used for a standard thermosonic ball bonding operation and it was developed for fabricating a variety of area array and peripheral interconnections including high density land grid array connectors and high density IC probes.
  • Conventional wire bonding operation used to make structures according to the present invention as, schematically shown in FIG. 1, a free end of a wire is ball bonded to a contact pad on a surface. The wire is bent over and wedge bonded to another pad. The wire joining the two pads is curved. The shape of the curve is determined by the distance between the two pads which are joined. If the wire joining the two pads are severed, two wires having different shapes are formed. If it is desired that the wires bonded to the surface be used as an electronic device probe (as described herein) or to interconnect an array of contact pads on a first surface to another array of contact pads on a second surface which is facing the first surface, the conventional wire bonding process is not useful to fabricate such structures. To fabricate a probe for an electronic device using wires (probe wires) bonded to a surface, one end of the wire is bonded to contact pads on a support substrate for the probe wires. The other ends of the probe wires must be positioned so as to be able to contact the contact pads on device being tested. When an electronic device probe is moved into engagement with the contact pads of the device under test, the probe wires preferably flex so that the free end (probe tip) of the wires wipe across the surface of the contact pad being probed. The wiping action permits the probe tip to make good electrical contact to a contact pad. Since a probe is used many times, the probe tips of the probe wires make many thousands (preferably greater than 1000, more preferably greater than 10,000, most preferably greater than 100,000) engagements and disengagements with contact pads on devices under test resulting in many repeated bendings. The probe tip also must be flexible enough to achieve the desired degree of wiping, withstand many engagements without deforming and be sufficiently compressible to without deformation. Applicants invention provides a method and approach which can reliable form many probe wires to a desired predetermined shape to satisfy all these requirements.
  • There is a need for a technique to form wires bonded to surfaces where the wires can be formed to have any desired shape to provide certain desired properties. The wires can be bonded to electrical contact pads on a surface drawn away from the surface and cut to have a free end. The wires are bent so that the free ends are placed in a predetermined shape which provide advantageous properties, such as a desired flexibility.
  • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • It is the object of the present invention to provide a process for bonding wires to an electronic circuit device with one end of the wire attached to the surface of the device and the other end of the wire extending away from the surface of the device.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a process for bonding wires to an electronic circuit device with the wires formed at an angle to the surface of the device.
  • A further object of the present invention is to provide a process for bonding wires to an electronic circuit device with the wires having curved features.

  • DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
  • Structures according to the present invention are made using a wire bonding operation is shown in FIG. 1 and starts by forming a ball on the end of a (preferably) gold wire 110 that is threaded through a hollow pointed ceramic tool called a capillary 115. The ball 112 is pressed against the first bonding surface 116 of substrate 118 while the substrate 118 is heated from below and ultrasonic energy is applied through the capillary 115 as shown in step 1 of FIG. 1. The metallurgy on the surface of the substrate is critical to the wire bonding process. After ball bonding the wire to the first substrate surface 116, the capillary 115 is raised while the substrate is moved (shown by arrow 120) to create a loop shape in the wire (FIG. 1—step 2). The capillary 115 is then lowered to press the side 124 of the wire against the second substrate 126 surface 128 to form the second bond or wedge bond 130 (FIG. 1—step 3). The capillary is raised slightly indicated by arrow 132 and a mechanical clamp is actuated to hold the wire in place while the capillary is raised again to break the wire at the end of the wedge bond 134 (FIG. 1—step 4). The ball is formed on the end of the gold bond wire by placing an electrode below the tip 136 of the wire and using a high voltage electrical discharge to melt the end of the wire (FIG. 1—step 5).
  • FIG. 2 shows a cross section of an electronic circuit component (11) and several angled flying leads (10) attached to the first surface (12) of the component (11) according to the present invention. The angled flying leads (10) can be attached to a variety of different electronic circuit components (11). The angled flying leads (10) are bonded to metallized circuit pads (13) on the first surface (12) of the electronic circuit component (11). The electronic circuit component (11) must provide a rigid base for the thermosonic wire bonding process to be successful. FIGS. 1, 2, and 3 of the angled flying lead wire bonding process are essentially the same as a standard thermosonic wire bonding process. An electrical discharge (22) from an electronic flame off (EFO) unit (21) at surface 20 is used to melt the end of the bond wire (16) extending through the tip of a ceramic capillary tool (15). The electrical discharge (22) is controlled to provide a consistent sized ball (14) on the end of the bond wire (16).
  • FIG. 3 shows the ceramic capillary tool (15) used to press the ball shaped end of the bond wire (16) against the metallized pad (13) on the surface of the electronic circuit component (11). Ultrasonic energy (30) applied through the ceramic capillary tool (15) and thermal energy applied through the base holding the electronic circuit component (11) in used to form a ball bond (19) between the bond wire (16) and the metallized pad (13) on the surface of the electronic circuit component (11).
  • FIG. 4 shows the movement of the electronic circuit component (40) and the movement of the ceramic capillary tool (41). The movement of the electronic circuit component (40) is used to define the offset between the free end (18) of the angled flying lead (10) and the ball bond (19) attached to the electronic circuit component (11). The movement of the ceramic capillary tool (15) provides sufficient slack in the bond wire to minimize stress to the ball bond (19) during the subsequent operations.
  • FIG. 5 shows additional movement of the ceramic capillary tool (50) that is used to form the angled and curved geometry (17) of the angled flying lead (10). The movement of the capillary tool (50) must be controlled to prevent deformation of the adjacent angled flying leads (10).
  • FIG. 6 shows the shear blade (60) that is used to sever the bond wire (62) to form the free end (18) of the angled flying lead (10). The shear blade (60) is precisely located (61) to ensure accurate positioning of the free end (18) of the angled flying lead (10). A clamp is used to hold the bond wire while the ceramic capillary tool (15) is raised (62) and the bond wire is severed at the tip of the shear blade (60).
  • FIG. 7 shows the retraction of the shear blade (70) and the upward movement of the ceramic capillary tool (71). The end of the bond wire (72) extending through the tip of the ceramic capillary tool is used for the next ball bond and the process is repeated to form the desired number of angled flying leads (10) on the electronic circuit component (11).
  • FIG. 8 shows an alternate embodiment of the wire cutting process shown in FIG. 5. The alternate wire cutting process shown in FIG. 7 uses two shear blades (80, 83) instead of a single blade. The movement and positioning (81, 84) of the two blades (80, 83) is synchronized to nick the wire on opposites sides and allow the wire to fracture at this point. The double-blade configuration can be used for cutting wires that have a high tensile strength. The two blade configuration also significantly improves wire positioning accuracy.
  • FIG. 9 shows a second alternate embodiment of the wire cutting process similar to the two blade process shown in FIG. 8. The second alternate wire cutting process shown in FIG. 9 is used for creating straight wires (100) attached to an electronic circuit component (11). The movement and positioning (91, 94) of the two blades (90, 93) is controlled to nick the opposite sides of the wire and allow the wire to fracture at this point.
  • FIG. 10 shows three wire configurations (120, 121, 122) attached to an electronic circuit component (11) using the angled flying lead wire bonding process. All three of the wires (120, 121, 122) are created with the height (124) from the surface of the electronic circuit component (11). The three wire configurations include a straight wire (120), an angled wire (121), and a wire (122) with a section parallel to the surface of the electronic circuit component (11). Variations of these three wire configurations (120, 121, 122) can be created including wires with different angles (123) and different wire offset (125) dimensions as shown on the angled wire (121).
  • FIG. 11 shows four wire configurations (130, 131, 133, 134) attached to an electronic circuit component (11) using the angled flying lead wire bonding process. The four wire configurations include two straight wires (130, 131) with different wire heights (132, 136) and two angled wires (133, 134) with two different wire heights (135, 137).
  • FIGS. 12 and 13 schematically show a variety of wire shapes (141, 142, 143, 144, 145, 146, 147, 148) practiced by the present invention. The different wire shapes are created by controlling both the down-movement of the capillary tip and the off-set move of the wire bonding stage. The shapes continuously curved, piece wire curved, piece wire linear and combinations thereof.
  • FIG. 13 schematically shows several shapes and geometries of the wire tip ends, such as straight (167), straight with pointed contact (166), straight with point contact deposited with a suitable contact metallurgy (165), straight end with sharp spikes (164) and deposited with a suitable contact metal (163), ball-shaped (162), ball-shaped deposited with a suitable contact metallurgy (161) and deposited with sharp spikes (160) at the contact ends.
  • FIG. 14 schematically shows a frame structure (150, 153) which can be tailored to match the thermal expansion coefficient of silicon and other materials. The wire tip ends (152) need to be maintained in precise position before and after engagement with electronic device pads at up to 180° C. The various contact geometries as shown in the figure are fabricated at the end of wires to facilitate various contact and test applications.
  • FIG. 15 is a schematic diagram showing the structures according to the present invention in testing apparatus. The testing apparatus 208 has a means 202 for disposing the probe tip ends 210 on a substrate 200 in contact with contact locations 212 on the device under test 204 which is disposed on support 206.
  • The minimum spacing between angled flying leads is dependent on the diameter of the bond wire that is used and the size and geometry of the capillary tip used for bonding the wires. Smaller diameter wires can be bonded closer together. The capillary tip geometry can be modified using a bottleneck configuration or a side relief to allow closer bonding of the flying leads. The maximum height for an angled flying lead is also determined by the diameter and material properties of the bond wire and the offset distance between the ball bond and the free end of the wire. Small diameter wires (0.001 to 0.002 inch) are better suited to shorter leads and larger diameter wires (0.002 to 0.003 inch) are better suited to longer leads. The key material properties of the wire include the stiffness and the tensile strength. The wire properties can be controlled by the alloys used in the wire material and the elongation factor used for forming the wire. The structures fabricated according to the methods of the present invention
