INTERCONNECTION OF ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS

摘要

A technique for interconnecting electronic components in which interconnection wires (7) are bonded to contacts (3) on a first component (1) without the use of a material other than the materials of the contacts and the wires; the wires are then severed to a desired length of between 2d and 20d, where d is the diameter of the wires, and bonded to contacts (23) on the second component (21) by means of a conductive material (27) such as solder. Preferably, solder is provided as pools located in recesses in a layer of insulating matérial. The invention also provides a bonding head for a wire bonder for bonding the wire to the contact on the first component and for weakening or severing the wire at the desired point.
