A wire bonding method comprises: preparing a wire bonding apparatus; a step of forming a free air ball; a first height measuring step of measuring the height of a first electrode by detecting whether the free air ball is grounded to the first electrode; a second height measuring step of measuring the height of a second electrode by detecting whether the free air ball is grounded to the second electrode; a first bonding step of controlling the height of a bonding tool based on the measurement result in the first height measuring step, and bonding the free air ball to the first electrode; and a second bonding step of controlling the height of the bonding tool based on the measurement result in the second height measuring step, and bonding a wire to the second electrode to connect the first and the second electrodes. Thus, electrodes can be correctly bonded.

Wire bonding method and wire bonding apparatus

A discharge examination device for examining discharge of a wire-bonding apparatus that applies a voltage between a torch electrode and a wire to procure the discharge therebetween includes a current detection unit, a timer unit and a discharge determination unit. The current detection unit detects a discharge current flowing through the wire. The timer unit measures discharge detection time after application of the voltage before detection of the discharge current. The discharge determination unit determines whether or not the discharge is abnormal based on the discharge detection time. With this, a discharge examination device, a wire-bonding apparatus, and a discharge examination method that are capable of detecting abnormality of discharge are provided.
