ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for bonding a plurality of metallic leads to pads of a chip where the force of a thermode, which is placed in contact with the chip is increased at a first rate to a maximum force less than required to effect the bonding over a time period required to bring the metallic leads and pads close to bonding temperature, and then increasing the uniform force at a rate greater than the first rate to a force sufficient to effect the bonding. The apparatus includes a chip holder arrangement that is mounted to automatically align to the plane of the bonding thermode to provide for uniform deformities to the bump portions of the bond.
