A system for measuring the size of free air balls for use with a wire bonder having a wire bonding tool and an Electric Flame Off (EFO) device is provided. The system includes an imager disposed above a first image plane, a prism disposed below the imager, and at least one lens positioned between the first image plane and the prism in a first optical path. The at least one lens is positioned between the prism and the imager in a second optical path, where the second optical path is different from the first optical path. An image of the free air ball disposed at a lower portion of the wire bonding tool is provided to the imager via the prism and the at least one lens.

A system for determining wire bonding tool placement for use with a wire bonder and an optical imager is provided. The system includes a prism disposed below the optical imager and the wire bonding tool. The system also includes at least one lens positioned between the prism and a lower portion of the wire bonding tool along a first optical axis. The at least one lens and the prism define an object plane between the at least one lens and the lower portion of the wire bonding tool. The at least one lens is positioned between the prism and the optical imager along a second optical axis. The at least one lens and the prism define an image plane between the at least one lens and the optical imager.

Disclosed are interconnect structures and methods which utilize a bonding surface comprising copper nitride. The interconnect structures include a bonding surface comprising copper nitride which is effective at preventing oxidation and/or other unwanted corrosion of the underlying conductive material while providing the basis for a high conductivity bond. The copper nitride bonding surface provides a relatively non-conductive, corrosion-resistant bonding surface while at the same time being readily transformed into a conductive layer at or just prior to the time of bonding.

A method and system for providing different images representing plural depths of field of an electronic device. The vision system has a beamsplitter for receiving an image of the device illuminated by the at least one light source, the beamsplitter providing one of the plurality of images of the device based in a wavelength of the light source; an aperture having a plurality of effective diameters based on the wavelength of light from the at least one light source, the aperture determining a depth of field of the image of the device; and an optical element for receiving the image of the device, the optical element magnifying the image by a predetermined magnification factor to produce a magnified image having the determined depth of field.

A wire cleaning system for cleaning wire configured to be wirebonded is provided. The wire cleaning system includes a chamber through which a wire configured to be wirebonded extends prior to the wire being wirebonded. The wire cleaning system also includes an energy source for removing contamination from the wire in the chamber prior to the wire being wirebonded.

A method of processing a semiconductor device is provided. The method includes providing a semiconductor device supported by a carrier structure. The carrier structure defines a plurality of vias from a first surface of the carrier structure adjacent the semiconductor device to a second surface of the carrier structure. The method also includes extending a conductor through one of the vias such that a first end of the conductor at least partially extends below the second surface. The method also includes electrically coupling another portion of the conductor to a portion of the semiconductor device.

An apparatus for manipulating a work piece in connection with a wire bonding machine including at least one magazine handler is provided. The apparatus includes a first conveyor system configured to receive work pieces from the at least one magazine handler, and a second conveyor system configured to receive work pieces from the at least one magazine handler. The apparatus is adapted such that the second conveyor system prepares a work piece for a wire bonding operation by a wire bonding tool concurrent with the first conveyor system supporting another work piece during a wire bonding operation of the another work piece using the wire bonding tool.

A interconnect assembly features a prefabricated interconnect structure metallurgically bonded to a terminal of a larger structure. Fabrication of the interconnect structure's independently and separate from the larger structure enables the use of economic mass fabrication techniques that are well-known for miniature scale sheet metal parts. During fabrication, positioning and attachment, each interconnect structure is combined with and/or held in a carrier structure from which it is separated after attachment to the terminal. The interconnect structure is configured such that an attachment tool may be brought into close proximity to the attachment interface between the interconnect structure and the terminal for a short and direct transmission of bonding energy onto the attachment interface. The attachment interface provides for an electrically conductive and a bending stress opposing mechanical connection between the interconnect structure and the terminal. The interconnect assembly is preferably part of a probe apparatus.
