Process training thin wire bonding
In this highly practical training course, we will show you the basic setup and operation of a wire bonder for manufacturing products. You will learn how to create new programs, what to look out for during image recognition, which errors you should avoid at all costs when setting up the machine and which typical problems you can expect to encounter in everyday practice.
Is this seminar right for you?
This training is designed for users with 0-3 years of experience in wire bonding. It focuses on common thin wire bonding processes, such as ball-wedge and wedge-wedge. The training emphasizes practical work on the device and the process. Participants create bond contacts on prepared samples and optimize and check their bond quality by varying the parameters. Participants carry out these changes and optimizations independently, thereby gaining more confidence in handling and interpreting the process results.
What seminar topics can you expect?
Gain practical experience with parameter settings in the wire bonding process. Microscopes and testing equipment are available to analyze the connections. Conducting your own experiments on the machines allows you to observe the process and ask questions. Take advantage of the opportunity to bring your own samples, practice with them and learn more effectively.
You will learn how to set bond and loop parameters to ensure optimum bond quality. A central component of the seminar is mechanical testing methods, such as pull and shear tests, which evaluate the strength and reliability of wire-bonded connections. Additionally, we will teach you visual inspection techniques to identify and correct typical fault patterns early on. Along with the test procedures, you will gain valuable insights into programming bonding machines to efficiently control and adapt processes to different requirements.
What you will learn?
The seminar focuses on two thin-wire bonding processes: ball-wedge (gold wire) and wedge-wedge (typically aluminum wire). Each process step is presented individually and the adjustments that can be made in each case are demonstrated. The level of detail depends on the seminar group's skills and prior knowledge. Experiments determine the effects of individual bonding parameters (e.g., US power, bonding force, bonding time and loop parameters) and the influence of parameter settings. Participants work in two groups divided by process and quality. The two groups switch topics during the exercises.
The available wire bonders, microscopes and pull/shear testing devices allow participants to experience firsthand what constitutes a good wire bonded connection. These devices are equipped with cameras, allowing all participants to follow along on a large monitor. Process training offers plenty of opportunities for questions and discussions.

Professional trainers, interaction during the seminar, best seminar/training by for from what I had, learned a lot and it opened the wish to know and learn more on this 😊
Very informative, correlations explained very well. Although I am only an operator on the bonder, it was explained in such a way that I understood it. .. also went into more detail on topics relating to our products and machines.
In summary: I gained a lot of knowledge that I can apply immediately.
This course is recommended to anyone who comes into contact with the topic of ‘bonding’. I learnt a lot about the different bonding processes and quality parameters in theory and practice.
Perfect introduction to the complex world of wire bonding. Depth of content just right so that even bond beginners/newbies are not left behind. Good additional information/adjustments to the content adapted to the participants. Good rhetoric & teaching style. Training day very helpful for internalising the content. Many thanks!
Very intensive course with lots of information. It was very interesting and personal questions were answered well. I would recommend the course to every operator and machine manager.
For me, the training was exactly the right mix of theory and practice. It did a good job of conveying the complexity of individual topics and summarised them well without going into too much detail. I liked the fact that aspects relevant to sales were also included.
The seminar is very structured. It was very informative and exciting for me. All topics were covered in detail. Despite the enormous amount of information, the seminar was very relaxed. And I definitely took away a lot of feedback.
Very informative training, very nice and courteous trainer, top failure analysis and analysis methods. Would be interested in further training courses, canteen for lunch was great 😊
