Patent ID: 7069102

Claim:
A system comprising a first bonder for bonding semiconductor chips having a calculating unit for manipulating data relating to a bonding operation, a memory unit for storing information relating to the bonding operation, and an optical unit for acquiring visual images relating to the bonding operation, and a communication means for providing communication between the calculating unit, the memory unit, and the optical unit of a bonder, and for providing communication to a second bonder; the second bonder having a calculating unit for manipulating data relating to a bonding operation, a memory unit for storing information relating to the bonding operation, and an optical unit for acquiring visual images relating to the bonding operation, an adaptive compensator for generating a corrected device program for controlling the bonding operation, and a communication means for providing communication between the calculating unit, the memory unit, and the optical unit of a bonder, and for providing communication to the first bonder; a semiconductor chip having a plurality of bondpads arranged on the semiconductor chip; a set of segments of bondpads of the semiconductor chip, each segment having a reference member related to a number of bondpads in the segment and coordinates of the reference member and a visual representation of the segment; a device program including information related to the semiconductor chip and the segments, the reference members, the coordinates of the reference members, and the visual representations; the device program stored in the memory unit of the first bonder and a copy of the device program stored in the second bonder; corrective data generated in the calculating unit of the second bonder relating the device program related to the semiconductor chip and the segments, including the reference members, the coordinates of the reference members, and the visual representations; the adaptive compensator of the second bonder adaptive to compare information from the stored device program and the corrective data ; and a bond program corrector for generating a corrected device program relating to the semiconductor chip and the segments, including the reference members, the coordinates of the reference members, and the visual representations, suitable for aiding the second bonder for the bonding operation.
