Patent ID: 7262123

Claim:
A method of forming a wire bond for a semiconductor construction, comprising: providing a semiconductor substrate having a wire bonding region; providing a stepped electrically-insulative-radiation-imageable material at least partially around the wire bonding region, the stepped electrically-insulative-radiation-imageable material having a first region proximate the wire bonding region and a second region laterally further from the wire bonding region than first region; the second region being laterally spaced from the wire bonding region by a distance which includes at least a lateral width of the first region; the first region having a first elevational height, and the second region having a second elevational height which is above the first elevational height; the second region being joined to the first region through multiple steps; and forming a wire bond to the wire bonding region with a capillary having a lateral width less than the distance from the wire bonding region to the second region of the electrically-insulative-radiation-imageable material, the capillary being brought to a closest distance to the substrate during the wire bonding with said closest distance being above the first elevational height and below the second elevational height.
