Abstract:
1. A method for singulating and bonding semiconductor chips of a semiconductor wafer divided into semiconductor chips, the method: positioning a semiconductor wafer disposed on a carrier film and divided into semiconductor chips on a singulating table of a singulating station; aligning a bonding tool with bonding wire above one of the semiconductor chips on the singulating table; forming a bonding bead at an end of the bonding wire; lowering the bonding tool onto the semiconductor chip to bond the bonding bead onto a contact surface of the semiconductor chip; lifting the bonding tool with semiconductor chip suspended from the bonding wire off the carrier film; conveying the semiconductor chip on the bonding wire of the bonding tool to a mounting station, the mounting station including a circuit carrier with a chip mounting surface and at least one contact-connection surface; attaching the semiconductor chip on the chip mounting surface by the bonding tool; guiding the bonding wire by the bonding tool from the contact surface of the semiconductor chip to the contact-connection surface; and bonding the bonding wire on the contact-connection surface.
