The global Bonder market size is predicted to grow from US$ 2641 million in 2025 to US$ 3515 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.9% from 2025 to 2031.
Wire Bonder, Die Bonder, and FC Bonder are specialized types of bonding machines used in the semiconductor industry for the assembly of integrated circuits (ICs) and other electronic components. Each serves a specific purpose in the manufacturing process:
Wire Bonder:
A wire bonder is a machine used to create wire bonds, which are electrical connections between the leads of a semiconductor device and the conductive pads on the die. This process is critical in packaging semiconductor devices. The wire bonder uses a fine wire (often gold or aluminum) to form a connection by creating a ball or wedge at the end of the wire, which is then pressed onto the pad on the die. There are two primary types of wire bonding:
Ball Bonder: This machine forms a ball at the end of the wire and uses it to make the first bond (the ball bond) on the die pad. The wire is then stretched to the lead and another bond (the stitch bond) is formed.
Wedge Bonder: This machine uses a wedge-shaped tool to bond the wire to the die pad and the lead.
Die Bonder:
A die bonder is a machine that attaches semiconductor dice (the individual chips or integrated circuits) to their packages. This is typically done using an adhesive, solder, or eutectic bonding. The die bonder positions the die with precision and applies the necessary force and heat to create a secure bond between the die and the package substrate. This process is essential for ensuring the mechanical and electrical integrity of the final semiconductor device.
FC Bonder (Flip Chip Bonder):
FC bonding, also known as flip chip bonding, is a technique where the die is mounted face-down onto a substrate, with the bond pads on the die's active surface directly connecting to the pads on the substrate. An FC bonder is designed to perform this process. The bonder can use various methods to attach the die, including soldering, conductive adhesive, or ultrasonic bonding. Flip chip technology is often used in high-performance applications due to its smaller footprint and better heat dissipation.
All these bonding machines are precision instruments that must maintain tight tolerances to ensure the reliability and performance of the electronic components they are used to assemble. They are equipped with advanced vision systems and control software to achieve the high accuracy required for these delicate operations.
