METHOD OF ELECTRICALLY CONNECTING A SEMICONDUCTOR CHIP TO AT LEAST ONE CONTACT SURFACE

摘要

The invention concerns a method of electrically connecting a semiconductor chip (1) to at least one contact surface by means of a thin wire whose first end is welded to the at least one contact surface and whose second end is connected to a contact area of the semiconductor chip (1). In order to establish a good connection between the wire and the contact area of the semiconductor chip (1), the second end of the wire is welded to a wedge-shaped metal part (5) which is disposed on the contact area of the semiconductor chip (1) and is conductively connected thereto. The metal part (5) is formed by a nailhead contact (6) whose free end is guided in a loop and connected to the nailhead by a wedge contact.
