A system for inserting a wire into a semiconductor chip system includes positioning members for deploying and moving a length of the wire between a first end and a second end of a workspace. A handling device of the system is configured to handle the semiconductor chip, and is capable of placing the chip in an insertion position in which a groove of the chip is placed opposite the wire. A positioning member of the system is configured to arrange a longitudinal section of the wire along the groove, in forced abutment against a pad of the chip made of a bonding material having a melting point. A heating member of the system is configured to heat a zone comprising the pad to a processing temperature above the melting point to melt the pad and provoke insertion of the wire into the groove.

System for inserting a wire into a semiconductor chip

A method for inserting a wire into a longitudinal groove of a semiconductor chip for the assembly thereof, the groove containing a pad made of a bonding material having a set melting point, comprises: in a positioning step, placing a longitudinal section of the wire along the groove, in forced abutment against the pad; and, in an insertion step, exposing a zone containing at least one portion of the pad to a processing temperature higher than the melting point of the bonding material and for a sufficient time to make the pad at least partially melt, and causing the wire to be inserted into the groove. The present disclosure also relates to a piece of equipment allowing the insertion method to be implemented.
