ABSTRACT:
The method and apparatus utilize a laser to heat bond pads. While the bond pads are hot, a wire is bonded to the bond pad. The method and apparatus of the present invention may also be used to heat a lead finger of an integrated circuit lead frame using a laser and to bond a wire to the lead finger while the lead finger is hot.
