    Abstract: A bond pad sealing arrangement and method that utilizes ball bonds to protect a bond pad is described. A relatively large free air ball is formed at a distal end of a bonding wire used for ball bonding. The free air ball is pressed against a bond pad and ultrasonically welded to form a ball bond. The bonding parameters utilized during the ball bonding are selected such that excess ball material passes is squashed outward beyond the capillary tip and overflows the periphery of the bond pad thereby completely covering and sealing the bond pad. The described structure works well to protect aluminum and other bond pads that are subject to corrosion if left exposed. In one preferred arrangement the capillary used to form the ball bond includes a cavity arrangement that molds a central portion of the ball bond to form a good intermetallic bond between the bond pad and the bonding wire.

    Abstract: A multifaceted capillary that can be used in a wire-bonding machine to create a multi-segment wire-bond is disclosed. The multifaceted capillary is shaped to apply added pressure and thickness to an outer segment of the multi-segment wire-bond that is closest to the wire loop. The added pressure eliminates a gap under a heel portion of the multi-segment wire-bond and the added thickness increases a mechanical strength of the heel portion. As a result, a pull test of the multi-segment wire-bond may be higher than a single-segment wire-bond and the multi-segment wire-bond may resist cracking, lifting, or breaking.
