Bondtests, Studien, Musterbau, Prototypen

We handle both thin and thick wire bonding processes, accommodating wire diameters from 17.5 μm to 500 μm. Our fully automated wire bonding machines support various bonding techniques and materials, enabling us to meet a wide range of project requirements for testing, feasibility studies, and prototypes.

We prioritize quick turnarounds and aim to schedule projects within a maximum of 8 weeks. For many projects, such as feasibility studies or small prototype batches, we can complete work within 2-10 days, depending on the complexity and number of parts required. This flexibility allows us to meet urgent deadlines and small-lot requirements.

Our feasibility studies test new or unknown surfaces, wire materials, bonding tools, geometries, and loop shapes. We conduct a focused series of experiments with thorough documentation, providing a cost-effective initial assessment of your project’s feasibility. Most feasibility studies take between 0.5 and 2 days, offering a quick yet detailed evaluation.

Yes, we wire bond small prototype production batches. After agreeing on all assembly details through email or web conference, we can deliver 10-100 parts within 2-10 days. For larger orders (100+ parts), the timeline depends on workload and project complexity.

We offer comprehensive bond testing, including bond parameter variation followed by visual inspection and pull/shear testing according to DVS-2811 or other applicable standards. We can perform bond tests on new surfaces using customer-supplied samples, ensuring statistical robustness with sufficient test space.

We provide detailed reports with all testing results, including visual inspections, pull/shear test data, and analysis outcomes. For customers who prefer a summary, we can offer a condensed application report, which is useful for documenting the bonding material’s performance or for marketing purposes.

Yes, we encourage customer collaboration. You’re welcome to work with our team on-site to build prototypes, inspect samples, and get an understanding of any anomalies.

We are equipped with a comprehensive portfolio of advanced wire bonding machines from F&S Bondtec and analytical tools to support testing, prototyping, and feasibility studies. Our fully automated machines are capable of precise wire bonding with both thin and thick wires, and we also use manual bonding techniques for small sample setups.

Our testing procedures align with DVS-2811 standards for pull and shear tests, ensuring high-quality and consistent bond strength evaluations. If your project requires other specific standards, please let us know, and we’ll accommodate them where possible (e.g. MIL-883, ASTM F459, ASTM F458, JEDEC JESD22-B116B, AEC Q100-001C, AEC Q101-003A).

We prefer short lead times for small-lot projects. Our efficient scheduling, combined with our in-house technology and expertise, allows us to complete projects within 2-6 weeks, depending on the project scope. For urgent orders, we’ll work with you to set up timelines that meet your needs.

Yes, we typically require customers to provide the materials and components needed for the project. This ensures that the prototypes and testing closely represent your final product. However, we can work with suitable dummy samples initially to help set up the wire bonding process if your components are not yet available. Furthermore our extensive network of users and suppliers allows us to get materials and equipment quickly if needed.

Prototype assembly includes setting up the wire bond applications on dummy samples, creating bond programs, testing the bonding process, assembling the samples, and performing final inspection. We then package the assembled prototypes and provide a report with wire bond parameters and bond programs if requested.

Yes, when only a few connections are needed, we offer manual wire bonding as a cost-effective solution. For larger batches or complex assemblies, we create a complete wire bonding program to automate the process and ensure precision and repeatability.

We require sufficient sample sizes and test areas to achieve statistically robust results. Our bond tests are carefully structured, with parameter variations, visual inspections, and mechanical pull/shear testing, allowing for reliable data and repeatable results that meet industry standards.

Getting started is simple. Contact our team to discuss your project goals and requirements. We’ll work with you to determine the appropriate testing, feasibility study, or prototype assembly approach, schedule your project, and coordinate the details to ensure a smooth and efficient process.
