When bonding a coated wire to a bonding site, a mixed gas is formed which consists of a combustible gas and a temperature controlling gas for lowering the combustion temperature of the combustible gas, and removing insulator at a bonding part of the coated wire and thus denuding the surface of a metal wire by the use of burning flames produced by the combustion of the combustible gas of the mixed gas. The removal of the insulator is executed by an insulator removal torch. Also, a metal ball may be formed on an end of the coated wire, the metal ball being joined to the bonding site, e.g. an external terminal of a semiconductor chip. A further part of the side of the coated wire into touch with an external drawing lead of the chip and the insulator at the contact part. Then the further part of the wire may be bonded to the lead. Thus the combustion flames (which do not damage or cause breakdown of the metal wire) will surround substantially the whole area of the bonding part of the coated wire, so that the insulator of the wire can be reliably removed. This reduces bonding defects. Moreover, the melting and shrinking insulator of the coated wire may be blown away, to prevent globes of insulator globes being formed on the wire. |
