What it is

The Palomar LCC 8000 is a wire bonder and ball bumper used in semiconductor packaging. The machine combines two functions: wire bonding for creating electrical interconnections and ball bumping for forming solder bumps on a die.[1][2]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

The machine uses precise mechanical stages to position the bonding head over each pad. Computer-controlled parameters such as bond force, ultrasonic power, and time are set per application. The wire is fed through the capillary from a spool, and the bond is made in a sequence of loop and tail profiles.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

Materials commonly bonded include gold, copper, and aluminum wire. The machine can bond to substrates made of organic laminates, ceramics, or leadframes. The dual-function capability reduces handling and improves throughput for processes that require both wire bonds and bumps.
