1、Designation: F 458 06Standard Practice forNondestructive Pull Testing of Wire Bonds1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F 458; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in p
2、arentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1. Scope1.1 This practice covers nondestructive testing of individualwire bo
3、nds made by either ultrasonic, thermal compression orthermosonic techniques. The test is destructive to nonaccept-able wire bonds but is designed to avoid damage to acceptablewire bonds.NOTE 1Common usage at the present time considers the term “wirebond” to include the entire interconnection: both w
4、elds and the interven-ing wire span.1.2 The practice covers wire bonds made with small-diameter (from 0.0007 to 0.003-in. (18 to 76-m) wire of thetype used in integrated circuits and hybrid microcircuits.1.3 This practice can be used only when the loop height ofthe wire bond is large enough to allow
5、 a suitable hook forpulling to be placed under the wire.1.4 While the procedure is applicable to wire of anycomposition and metallurgical state, criteria are given only forgold and aluminum wire.1.5 A destructive pull test is used on wire bonds of the sametype and geometry to provide the basis for t
6、he determination ofthe nondestructive pulling force to be used in this practice. Thismay only be used if the sample standard deviation, s,ofthepulling forces required to destroy at least 25 of the same wirebonds tested by the destructive pull-test method is less than orequal to 0.25 of the sample av
7、erage, x.Ifs 0.25 x, thispractice may not be used.NOTE 2If s 0.25 x, some aspect of the bonding process is out ofcontrol. Following corrective action, the destructive pull-test measure-ments should be repeated to determine if the s # 0.25 x criterion is met.1.6 The nondestructive wire-bond pull test
8、 is to be per-formed before any other treatment or screening followingbonding and at the same point in processing as the accompa-nying destructive test. Preferably, this is done immediatelyafter bonding.1.7 The procedure does not ensure against wire-bond failuremodes induced after the test has been
9、performed.1.8 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas the standard. The values given in parentheses are forinformation only.1.9 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standar
10、d to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

11、mary of Practice3.1 The use of nondestructive wire-bond pull tests is predi-cated on data obtained from destructive pull tests on typicalsamples selected from a lot. The maximum safe nondestructivepull-force levels are determined as a function of the metallur-gical properties of the wire and from th
12、e calculated mean (x)and standard deviation (s) of the destructive pull-test datadetermined in accordance with Test Methods F 459.3.2 In some cases, rather than use a calculated nondestruc-tive pull force, a fixed pull force may be agreed upon by testparticipants. This value may be based upon indust
13、ry practice,or some other accepted value, such as that in MIL STD 883,Method 2023. All other parts of the present ASTM standardwill apply.1This practice is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee F01 on Electronicsand is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee F01.07 on Wire Bonding, Flip Chip,an

Significance and Use4.1 The nondestr
17、uctive wire-bond pull test provides a screenfor evaluating wire-bond quality and is capable of detectingweak or nonadherent bonds.4.2 The test is not destructive to acceptable wire bonds.4.3 This practice provides a procedure for identifying abonding situation that requires corrective action.4.4 The
18、 purpose of this practice is to identify wire bondsthat may fail during subsequent screening procedures or fieldoperation.4.5 The procedure is to be applied after bonding and beforeany further treatment.5. Interferences5.1 The same interferences apply as given in Test MethodsF 459 (Section 6, Interf
19、erences).6. Apparatus6.1 The apparatus used for the procedure is identical to thatused in Test Methods F 459 except that the lifting mechanismshall have the capability of stressing the wire bond up to apredetermined level. As this predetermined level may changein accordance with the results of a suc
20、cessive series of testsusing Test Methods F 459, as well as to accommodate changesin wire composition and metallurgy, the lifting mechanismmust be capable of applying an adjustable maximum force.7. Sampling7.1 As the test is nondestructive, it may be used as a 100 %production line screen so that sam
21、pling is not required.7.2 The test may be used as a lot acceptance test with thesampling scheme agreed to by the participating parties.8. Calibration and Standardization8.1 Calibrate the nondestructive stressing device in the samemanner as is used in calibrating the destructive wire-bondpull-test ap
22、paratus as specified in Test Methods F 459.8.2 Carry out the destructive wire-bond pull test in accor-dance with either Method A or B of Test Methods F 459,whichever is appropriate to the particular wire bond beingtested. Use a rate of force application within the range from 1to 30 gf/s (10 to 290 m
23、N/s) inclusive. Record the force requiredto break the wire bond, as well as identifying the wire bond, thedevice, and whether Method A or B was used.8.2.1 For noncontinuous use of a particular bonding ma-chine, apply either Method A or Method B (whichever isappropriate) of Test Methods F 459 to a mi
24、nimum sample of atleast 25 of the same wire bonds once the bonding machine hasbeen turned on, thermally stabilized, and tuned (if the machineis not self-tuning).8.2.2 For continuous use of a particular bonding machine,apply either Method A or B (whichever is appropriate) of TestMethods F 459 to a sa
25、mple of approximately 0.1 % (at least 25bonds) of the particular wire bond under study after every 2-hperiod of bonding.8.3 Given a set of n observed values of the destructivewire-bond pull strength xi, i = 1, ., n, calculate the mean, x,and the standard deviation, s, of the destructive wire-bond pu
