Abstract
A cleaning material, device, and method for predictably cleaning the capillary tube for a wire bonding machine in which the cleaning pad has a predetermined configuration appropriate for the particular wire bonding machine and a substrate having a defined functionalized surface topology and geometry which can be introduced into the wire bonding machine during the normal wire bonding operations. The cleaning material has a predetermined topography with a plurality of functional 3-dimensional (3D) microstructures that provide performance characteristics which are not possible with a non-functionalized and flat surface.
