Bump forming method

摘要

A method for forming a bump on, for instance, an electrode of a semiconductor device out of a wire comprising the steps of forming a ball at the end of the bonding wire, pressing the ball against the electrode, and separating the ball from the wire by cutting the wire by a pair of cutters that advance toward each other along the diameter of the wire. The cut surface of the ball or the bump can be flattened by the cutters that presses the cut surface.
