This paper reviews the design features of this test die, and presents the statistical design of experiment strategy taken in developing a wire bond process for very fine pitch assembly based on this test die.'The effect of major bonding parameters on bond ball size and ball shear force are discussed. A statistical method for predicting the ball shorting rate is compared with actual assembly yield data.
