Verfahren zum Verbinden eines Drahtes.

摘要

Wire-bonding of a semiconductor device designed in accordance with the CAD system is implemented on the basis of bonding data obtained by making use of the design data in the CAD system. For the design data in the CAD system, coordinate data of the bonding pads and the lead frames and wiring information therebetween are used. Since ordinarily the coordinate system in the CAD system and the coordinate system in the wire-bonding apparatus are not equal to each other, coordinate transformation is applied to the bonding data obtained from the CAD system. The data thus transformed is delivered to the bonding unit. Since there is employed a scheme to utilize the design data in the CAD system, the necessity of inputting bonding data by an operator is eliminated, thus making it possible to carry out bonding work free from an error in a short time.
