Palomar
8000
The Palomar 8000 is a wire bonder used in semiconductor packaging and bonding. The Palomar 8000 operates on 200-240 V, 25 Amps, 50/60 Hz, 1 Phase. The Palomar 8000 may run Windows XP or Windows 7 operating systems.[1][2][3]
What it is
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedA wire bonder joins a device pad to a lead or another conductive landing point by placing and attaching a fine wire during the packaging sequence.
Wire bonding equipment normally uses precision motion control, a bonding tool, and process control over placement and attachment so that electrical interconnects can be formed repeatedly on packaged semiconductor devices.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedWire bonding is part of the package interconnect stage, where the device die is connected to the package substrate or lead frame so the assembled component can carry signals and power.
Applications
General reference — not yet source-verifiedThe Palomar 8000 serves semiconductor packaging operations that require wire-bond interconnects.
Wire bonders are used for attachment of fine conductive wires in electronic device assembly, including packaged integrated circuits and related semiconductor components.
