Latest Patents
“Threading Tool and Method for Bond Wire Capillary Tubes” describes a tool for guiding bond wire through the capillary of a wire-bonding machine. Its body fits into the gap between the capillary tube and an overhead guide tube. A guide surface helps position the tool, while a vertical slot ends in an inclined surface that directs the wire toward the capillary. The slot’s length is selected to place the inclined surface appropriately above the capillary, allowing the wire to be threaded by pressing its end against the surface.
Career Highlights
Stilwell’s listed invention addresses a practical step in wire bonding: feeding fine bond wire through a machine’s capillary tube. The tool’s guided positioning and inclined surface are intended to simplify that process.
Collaborations
Stilwell’s listed coworkers include Daniel A. Pfankuch and John N. Tucker. The available information identifies Micron Technology Incorporated as his company but does not specify the coworkers’ roles in the patent.
Conclusion
Michael Stilwell’s patent work focuses on a specialized threading tool that helps guide bond wire into a wire-bonding machine’s capillary tube.
