Semiconductor Die Wire Bonding

High-reliability microelectronics depend on clean, accurate die-level interconnects. Reltronix provides specialised semiconductor die wire bonding services built to satisfy stringent military and high-reliability specifications, including MIL-STD-883.

Our in-house assembly cleanroom offers interconnect solutions ranging from fine-pitch Gold ball bonding and temperature-sensitive Gold wedge bonding to fine or heavy Aluminium wedge bonding and high-frequency Ribbon bonding. By pairing strict process controls with destructive and non-destructive pull testing, we ensure long-term interconnect reliability across all ceramic, metal, and custom packages.

 

Die Bonding Capabilities

  • Epoxy Die Attach
    Automated dispensing of conductive (silver-filled) and non-conductive epoxies, with controlled fillet formation and targeted bond-line thickness (BLT).
  • Eutectic Die Attach
    High-thermal-conductivity metallic bonding using Gold-Tin (AuSn) and custom alloys, available with or without pre-forms, utilising precision scrubbing techniques for minimal voiding and maximum joint integrity.
  • Heat Spreader & Substrate Attach
    Mounting of bare silicon or compound semiconductor die onto specialised carriers and high-thermal-expansion-matched materials, such as Molybdenum (Moly) tabs, copper-tungsten, or ceramic carriers.

Quality Assurance & Bond Strength Verification

To guarantee long-term mechanical integrity and electrical performance under harsh operating conditions, all wire bonding processes are subject to rigorous quality control. We perform destructive and non-destructive bond pull testing to evaluate bond strength, loop profile, and failure modes in accordance with MIL-STD-883 standards.
