Wire bonding method and wire bonding apparatus

摘要

A wire bonding apparatus includes a bonding tool having a pressing surface for pressing a wire onto a surface to be joined to the wire and a wire feeding hole open to the pressing surface; a wire feeder for feeding the wire outside of the bonding tool through the wire feeding hole; and a magnet for applying an attraction force to a wire tip end protruding from the wire feeding hole, to bend and hold the wire tip end towards the pressing surface.
