ABSTRACT:
A method of bonding a wire between a first bonding location and a second bonding location is provided. The method includes bonding a first end of a wire to a first bonding location using a wire bonding tool to form a first wire bond. The method also includes forming a looped portion in the wire adjacent the first wire bond. The method also includes lowering the wire bonding tool in a direction towards the first wire bond after the forming step. The lowering step is interrupted prior to the wire bonding tool contacting the first wire bond. The method also includes bonding a second end of the wire to a second bonding location.
