About the seminar

Is this seminar right for you?

The seminar is designed for anyone working in wire bonding technology – from beginners with at least half a year of experience to seasoned users looking to deepen their expertise. It is suitable for machine operators, process engineers, developers, and production staff who want a deeper understanding of bonding processes and their challenges. Participants who have only worked with basic machine settings will also find the opportunity to expand their knowledge and take the next step forward.

What seminar topics can you expect?

The wire bonding seminar provides comprehensive knowledge on thick-wire, thin-wire, ball-wedge, and wedge-wedge technologies.

Get practical insights into parameter settings. Microscopes and test equipment are available to analyze bonds. Machine demonstrations allow you to follow the process closely and ask questions. Take the opportunity to bring individual topics and actively participate in discussions.

Experience wire bonding in both theory and practice!

Quality and process analysis

What you will learn?

This seminar covers various quality testing methods for wire bonded contacts, their practical applications in industry, and techniques for evaluating bond characteristics. We will cover essential testing methods such as pulltest, sheartest, and non-destructive evaluation - all critical to ensuring the reliability of bonded contacts.

You will also become familiar with industry standards for wire bonded interconnects. Practical demonstrations will illustrate how these tests are performed, using specialized equipment such as bond pull testers, shear testers, and microscopes to effectively analyze the results.

We will also explore how undetected manufacturing defects can lead to significant assembly failures. With over 15 years of experience in failure analysis, we will provide you with the skills to identify and resolve common production and field failures, helping to reduce risk and improve product quality.

Bonding processes will be demonstrated live on bonding machines equipped with high-resolution cameras, allowing all participants to observe the processes in detail on a large monitor. This approach facilitates deeper understanding and interaction, making complex bonding techniques easier to grasp.

Basics of connection formation, the characteristics of wire bonding technology and the function of the individual components in the wire bonding machine.

Methods and tools to help you set up your wire bonding application and ensure a stable process.

Process steps of the individual bonding technologies with examples of failures and subsequent errors that can occur.

Which quality test is to be used for which type of wire bonded connection, where quality tests such as the pull and shear test have their limits and which alternative tests exist.

Which standards to use and where to find the corresponding characteristic values in the standards, how to deal with measured values and how to analyze the resulting quality data.

Who is this seminar for?

You want to acquire technology knowledge that will significantly accelerate your start and enable you to do more than just operate machines
You have no experience or have only been active in wire bonding for 1-2 years and need more guidance for your next steps
Your working field is process support, development, quality inspection or production
You want to understand the influencing factors in your wire bonding processes even better and are looking for ways to analyze correlations efficiently
You know the daily practice of process optimization in your company and you have the feeling that it could be even better

Professional trainers, interaction during the seminar, best seminar/training by for from what I had, learned a lot and it opened the wish to know and learn more on this 😊

Darius Petrisor Mihaiescu

Very informative, correlations explained very well. Although I am only an operator on the bonder, it was explained in such a way that I understood it. .. also went into more detail on topics relating to our products and machines.
In summary: I gained a lot of knowledge that I can apply immediately.

Fikreta Mehanovic

This course is recommended to anyone who comes into contact with the topic of ‘bonding’. I learnt a lot about the different bonding processes and quality parameters in theory and practice.

(Translated from German)
Stefan Scherr

Perfect introduction to the complex world of wire bonding. Depth of content just right so that even bond beginners/newbies are not left behind. Good additional information/adjustments to the content adapted to the participants. Good rhetoric & teaching style. Training day very helpful for internalising the content. Many thanks!

(Translated from German)
Benjamin Baumann

Very intensive course with lots of information. It was very interesting and personal questions were answered well. I would recommend the course to every operator and machine manager.

(Translated from German)
Cédric Viatte
I had a very positive impression of the basic seminar 1 - Using wire bonding technology safely. The topics were explained in great detail and every question that arose was answered, even if it related to topics that are actually related to later seminars. The subject matter is also illustrated very well.
(Translated from German)
Tom Hartmann

For me, the training was exactly the right mix of theory and practice. It did a good job of conveying the complexity of individual topics and summarised them well without going into too much detail. I liked the fact that aspects relevant to sales were also included.

(Translated from German)
Viktoria Köszegi

The seminar is very structured. It was very informative and exciting for me. All topics were covered in detail. Despite the enormous amount of information, the seminar was very relaxed. And I definitely took away a lot of feedback.

(Translated from German)
Natalia Berchtold

Very informative training, very nice and courteous trainer, top failure analysis and analysis methods. Would be interested in further training courses, canteen for lunch was great 😊
