Bonding tool for use primarily in thermo-compression bonding of electronic circuit components and methods of making the bonding tool are provided. In one embodiment, a holder is provided and has a substrate mounted at an end thereof. The holder is adapted to receive a heating element. A polycrystalline diamond film is disposed on the substrate, the film preferably being deposited by chemical vapor deposition. In a furthe embodiment the substrate is a material selected from the group consisting of polycrystalline diamond, cemented tungsten carbide, silicon carbide, cubic boron nitride, and tungsten. Furthermore, a ceramic substrate is provided which has a favorable thermal conductivity property as well as substantial electrical conductivity sufficient to permit shaping by electrical discharge machining ("EDM"). <IMAGE> |
