Wire Bonding
Wire Bonding Semiconductor Wire Bonding Level Description Introduction What is Wire Bonding? Wire bonding is a critical semiconductor manufacturing process that creates electrical connections between integrated circuits (ICs) and their packaging substrates. This wire bonding technique uses ultra-thin bond wires, typically made of gold or aluminum, to establish reliable electrical pathways in microelectronics applications. Understanding Wire Bond Fundamentals A typical wire bond consists of bonded wire connecting a die pad to a substrate pad on a PC board. The bond wire diameter varies between 18 and 50 microns, with 25 microns [...]

GaAs Substrate Thickness Measurement
Semiconductor Gaas Substrate Thickness Measurement Thickness Description Measuring Thickness of Wafers with Different Chemistries Introduction:  Silicon wafers are ordinarily highly conductive and easy to measure with standard capacitive displacement sensors (See MTI's Proforma 300i). Measuring the thickness of GaAs wafers that have high bulk resistivity (>10k Ohm/cm) is a little more difficult because the wafers act as non-conductive insulators in a capacitive sensor's measuring field. Fortunately, MTI has a solution to this problem. Solution:  It’s possible to measure the thickness and TTV of high resistivity semiconducting wafers (like GaAs) using non-contact [...]

Photolithography Using Capacitance Sensors
Photolithography Using Capacitance Sensors Semiconductor Photolithography Using Capacitance Sensors Positioning Description When it comes to photolithography, how accurate are our sensors? Accurate enough to measure this: ​   Photo by D. Carr and H. Craighead, Cornell The world's smallest guitar is 10 micrometers long -- about the size of a single cell -- with six strings each about 50 nanometers, or 100 atoms, wide. Made by Cornell University researchers from crystalline silicon, it demonstrates a new technology for a new generation of electromechanical devices. Even the world’s smallest guitar’s 2 micron [...]
