METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR REDUCING ADHESIVE BUILD-UP ON ULTRASONIC BONDING SURFACES

摘要

A method for reducing adhesive build-up on ultrasonic bonding surfaces of ultrasonic bonding systems is disclosed. The method includes providing an ultrasonic bonding surface (18). A pad (10) is provided proximate to, and in fluid contact with, the ultrasonic bonding system. A fluid is conducted to the pad (10) such that the fluid is applied is intermittently or continuously applied to at least a portion of the ultrasonic bonding surface (18).
