In this study, after measuring polarization characteristics of 97.3 wt% Ag, Au-Coated 97.3 wt% Ag (ACA) and 100 wt% Au wires in 1 wt% H₂SO₄ and 1 wt% HCl electrolytes at 25 ℃, corrosion rate and corrosion characteristics were comparatively analyzed. Comparing corrosion potential (E_CORR) values in sulfuric acid solution, ACA wire had more than six times higher E_CORR value than Au wire. Thus, it seems possible to use a broad applied voltage range of bonding wire for semiconductor packaging which ACA wire could be substituted for the Au wire. However, since the E_CORR value of ACA wire was three times lower than that of the Au wire in a hydrochloric acid solution, it was judged that the use range of the applied voltage and current of the bonding wire should be considered. In hydrochloric acid solution, 97.3 wt% Ag wire showed the highest corrosion rate, while ACA and Au showed similar corrosion rates. Additionally, in the case of sulfuric acid solution, all three types showed lower corrosion rates than those under the hydrochloric acid solution environment. The corrosion rate was higher in the order of 97.3 wt% Ag > ACA > 100 wt% Au wires.

We propose a new contact detection algorithm for fine pitch wire bonding. Fast and stable contact detection of the z-axis in wire bonding is extremely important to maintain the quality of fine pitch gold wire bonding processes, which use a small pad less than $70{\mu}m$ in diameter. A small perturbation in the contact detection time causes a large difference in the size of the formed squashed ball. The new detection method is based on a statistical approach and designed for a discrete Kalman filter. It is faster and has smaller detection time variations than conventional detection methods. Experimental results are presented to demonstrate the advantages of the proposed algorithm.

본 연구는 초음파 알루미늄 웨지 및 금 볼 본딩을 동시에 적용 가능한 본딩 Pad의 금속학적 안정성을 고려한 표층전극 형성 방법에 관한 것이다. 특히, 이동통신 및 전장용 모듈의 복합 및 융합화로 LTCC기판 패키징에 있어서 다양한 본딩 기술이 요구되고 있다. 전통적인 interconnection 기술인 Au ball 본딩 및 초음파 에너지를 이용한 Al wedge 본딩 기술이 동시에 사용되어야 하는 패키지 구조의 경우 본딩 패드의 표층전극 설계는 서로 상충되는 조건이 요구된다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 LTCC기판의 표층전극의 Metal finish 방법으로 이용되는 ENEPIG(무전해 Ni/Pd/Au도금)공법으로 Au ball 본딩 및 초음파 Al wedge 본딩을 동시에 가능하게 하는 solution을 제시하여 패키징 자유도뿐만 아니라 Interconnection 신뢰성을 확보할 수 있었다.

Bonded lingual retained are divided into two common types; preformed retainers with attached mash pads, and those that are custom fabricated from standard round ir multi-standed wire. The clinician may encounter problems in the bonding process of both types of retainers because of an inability to accurtely place and temporarily stability the wire in the same position as it was adapted an a guide model. Because of these problems, a new fabrication technique of bonded lingual retainers which increase their accuracy and ease of placement and also increased their tretention was suggested by the author. Using a current model as a guide, this bonded lingual retainer was fabricated from $.028"{\sim}.032"$ standard round wire. The wire was formed with pliers for idel adapation to the lingual surfaces of the involved teeth. Right angle bends were placed in the retainer wire ends and custom "composite" bonding pads were added to the ends of the retainer wire. This bonded lingual retainer with custom "composite" bonding pads is easir to place because of the increased stability and the accuracy of placement is greatly increased. The increased insure that the retainer comforms ideally to the lingual surface of the teeth being retained.

In spite of some problems in processability and bondability, Au wires in the microelectronics industry are gradually being replaced by copper wires to reduce the cost of raw material. In this article, the effects of surface roughness enhanced capillaries on thermosonic Cu wire bonding were evaluated. The roughness-enhanced zirconia toughened alumina (ZTA) capillaries were fabricated via a thermal grooving technique. As a result, the shear bond strength of first bonds (ball bonds) bonded using the roughness-enhanced capillary was enhanced by 15% as compared with that of normal bonds due to more effective plastic deformation and flow of a Cu ball. In the pull-out test of second bonds (stitch bonds), processed at two limit conditions on combinations of process parameters, the bond strength of bonds formed using the roughness-enhanced capillary also resulted in values higher by 55.5% than that of normal bonds because of the increase in the bonding area, indicating the expansion of a processing window for Cu wire bonding. These results suggest that the adoption of roughness-enhanced capillaries is a promising approach for enhancing processability and bondability in Cu wire bonding.

CdTe 멀티에너지 X선 영상센서와 ROIC를 패키징 하기 위한 flip chip bump bonding, Au wire bonding 및 encapsulation 공정조건을 개발하였으며 성공적으로 모듈화 하였다. 최적 flip chip bonding 공정 조건은 접합온도 CdTe 센서 $150^{\circ}C$, ROIC $270^{\circ}C$, 접합압력 24.5N, 접합시간 30s일 때이다. ROIC에 형성된 SnAg bump의 bonding이 용이하도록 CdTe 센서에 비하여 상대적으로 높은 접합온도를 설정하였으며, CdTe센서가 실리콘 센서에 비하여 쉽게 파손되는 것을 고려하여 접합압력을 최소화하였다. 패키징 완료된 CdTe 멀티에너지 X선 모듈의 각각 픽셀들은 단락이나 합선 등의 전기적인 문제점이 없는 것을 X선 3D computed tomography를 통해 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 Flip chip bump bonding후 전단력은 $2.45kgf/mm^2$ 로 측정되었으며, 이는 기준치인 $2kgf/mm^2$ 이상으로 충분한 접합강도를 가짐을 확인하였다.
