Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a semiconductor inner lead bonding method in which an operation is not affected by a little size change in a connection element. SOLUTION: The connection element having a lead is arranged on the surface of a chip such that the lead is above a contact 54. The bonding region 62 of each lead is energized down by engaging a bonding tool 60 with the contact 54 of a chip, whereas the first end, that is, base end 38 of the lead is fixed to and held by a dielectric layer structure. This lead is deformed in the shape of a letter S by moving the bonding tool 60 toward the base end, that is, the first end 38 of the lead to urge the bonding region 62 toward the first end 38 and to bend the lead, or the lead is bent down by the tool 60 and then the tool is separated from the lead to be separated from the base end 38 of the lead, and then is moved down so as to fix the lead to the contact 54 of the chip.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To accurately connect a portion of a microelectronic assembly having multiple contacts to a connection component including multiple leads each of which is equipped with a long narrow connector having at least one projection extending outward. SOLUTION: There are provided a process of juxtaposing a connection component 20 to a portion of a semiconductor chip assembly 10 so that respective leads are adjacent to their corresponding contacts; and a process of engaging a connector 32 on a tool so that the connector is engaged on at least one projection of the tool for restricting the motion of the tool in the longitudinal direction relative to the connector, and of displacing a bonding region 29 of the connector 32 so that the bonding region is engaged on a contact 18 for connecting the bonding region of the connector to its corresponding contact 18.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for bonding electrical leads to contacts on semiconductor chips and related components, in the mounting and connection of semiconductor chips. SOLUTION: A bonding region (62) of each lead is urged downward, by engaging a tool (60) with a contact (54) on a chip, while a first or base end (38) of the lead is attached to and held by a dielectric layer structure. The lead is deformed into an S-shaped configuration, by moving the bonding tool (60) horizontally toward the base or first end (38) of the lead, thereby forcing the bonding region (62) toward the first end (38) and bending the lead. Alternatively, the lead is bent downward by the tool, and then the tool is separated from the lead, is shifted away from the base end (38) of the lead, and is further moved downward to secure the lead to the chip contact (54).

Abstract:
In a semiconductor inner lead bonding process, a connection component having leads is disposed on the chip surface so that the leads lie above the contacts. A bond region of each lead is forced downwardly by a tool into engagement with a contact on the chip while a first or proximal end of the lead remains attached to a dielectric support structure. The lead is deformed into an S-shaped configuration by moving the bonding tool horizontally towards the proximal or first end of the lead, thereby forcing the bonding region towards the first end and bending or buckling the lead. Alternatively, the lead is bent downwardly by a tool and the tool may then be disengaged from the lead, shifted away from the proximal end of the lead and again advanced downwardly to secure the lead to the chip contact.
Abstract:
A method of connecting a semiconductor chip assembly having at least first and second contacts to a connection component including at least first and second connection leads by means of a tool consisting of the steps of juxtaposing moving and connecting the leads to the corresponding contacts. The connection component is juxtaposed with the semiconductor chip assembly so that the first and second connection leads are aligned with the first and second contacts in such a manner that the first connection lead is offset from the first contact in the first direction and the second connection lead is offset from the second contact in the same first direction. The first connection lead is moved by means of the tool substantially downwardly and towards the first contact in a second direction which is opposite to the first direction, so that an open space is formed between the first connection lead and the second contact and lead to facilitate movement of the second connection lead by the tool substantially downwardly and towards the second contact in the second direction.
Abstract:
A bonding tool for bonding inner leads to semiconductor chips is arranged to capture and align elongated lead sections extending in any one of plural directions, and preferably, in any one of two mutually orthogonal directions. Thus, the tool can be applied to align and bond all of the leads to a chip without turning the tool or the chip even where the leads extend in multiple directions.

A method of connecting a semiconductor chip assembly (12) having at least first and second contacts (18) to a connection component (20) including at least first and second connection leads (30) by means of a tool (60) consisting of the steps of juxtaposing moving and connecting the leads to the corresponding contacts. The connection component (20) is juxtaposed with the semiconductor chip assembly (12) so that the first and second connection leads (30) are aligned with the first and second contacts (18) in such a manner that the first connection lead is offset from the first contact in the first direction and the second connection lead is offset from the second contact in the same first direction. The first connection lead is moved by means of the tool (60) substantially downwardly and towards the first contact in a second direction which is opposite to the first direction, so that an open space (A1) is formed between the first connection lead and the second contact and lead to facilitate movement of the second connection lead by the tool (60) substantially downwardly and towards the second contact in the second direction.
