Claim 0:
1. A semiconductor device comprising:
an integrated circuit die having a plurality of bond pads; and
a plurality of bond wires, each of the plurality of bond wires being physically connected to a respective one of the plurality of bond pads by a ball bond,
wherein a footprint of each ball bond in an area of contact between each ball bond and the respective bond pad has a shape that is non-circular and includes a first axis of symmetry,
wherein the footprint of each ball bond includes a ball bond width and a ball bond length, and
wherein each of the bond pads includes a bond pad width and a bond pad length, and wherein a ratio of the ball bond length to the ball bond width is equal to a ratio of the bond pad length to the bond pad width ±10%.
