Patent ID: 11961819
Assignee: SHINKAWA LTD.
Field: Semiconductors (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H  B | IPC B  H

Claim 0:
1. A wire bonding apparatus which connects a lead of a mounted member with an electrode of a semiconductor die through a wire, comprising:
a capillary through which the wire is inserted,
a processor configured as a shape acquisition part which at least acquires a shape of a lead to which the wire is connected next,
a calculating part which calculates an extending direction of a wire tail extending from an end of the capillary based on the shape of the lead to which the wire is connected next, and
a cutting part which moves the capillary in the extending direction and cuts the wire to form the wire tail after the wire is connected between a lead currently being bonded and an electrode; and
a moving mechanism which connected with the capillary to move the capillary to cut the wire tail extending from the end of the capillary to be extended in the extending direction.
