Abstract
Abstract A stacked dies include a substrate, a lower chip and an upper chip. A plurality of upper wires have the bent portion at the bonding pad of the substrate to reduce the height and increase the strength of the wire so as to increase the reliability of the product and to increase the space between the lower wire and the upper wire for reduction cross talk. A method of making low profile upper wire connection comprising steps of: after an upper wire is connected to a first bonding point, a capillary is moved straight up a first distance, and then the capilairy is moved away from a second bonding point thus making a first reverse action to bend the wire in an appropriate angle so as to form the first bent point. The capillary is again raised a second distance and moved downward a second reverse action to bend the upper wire by an appropriate angle so as to form the second bent point. The capillary is raised a third distance and then the capillary is moved away the second bonding point thus making an action to bend the wire in an appropriate angle so as to form the third bent point. The capillary is further raised a fourth distance. The capillary is raised to the second bonding point to extend the length of two wire ends which is enough to make a wire loop, amd then the capillary is moved down to the second bonding point where the bonding is performed.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
243 words
A method of making a low profile wire connection in which a first bonding point and a second bonding point are connected by a wire that passes through a capillary, comprising the steps of: connecting said wire to said first bonding point; raising said capillary to deliver said wire from said capillary a first distance; moving said capillary in a direction away from said second bonding point to bend said wire and form a first bent point; raising said capillary to deliver said wire from said capillary a second distance; moving said capillary in a direction away from said second bonding point to bend said wire and form a second bent point; raising said capillary to deliver said wire from said capillary a third distance; moving said capillary in a direction away from said second bonding point to bend said wire and form a third bent point; raising said capillary to deliver said wire from said capillary a fourth distance; moving said capillary toward the second bonding point without moving said wire; and connecting said wire to the second bonding point, wherein said wire forms a substantially trapezoidal wire loop connecting said first bonding point and said second bonding point, and wherein said wire loop includes a neck height portion, a trapezoidal length portion, and an inclined portion, and wherein said third bent point is bent outwardly at said inclined portion of said wire loop, thereby enhancing a strength of said wire loop.
