Abstract

A semiconductor device wherein a selected subset of bond wires is coated with an electrically insulating polymer to reduce occurrences of electrical shorts caused by wire sweep in the flow of a molding compound during an encapsulation stage of the manufacturing process. In some examples, the bond wires to be coated are selected based on a set of criteria that flag the bond wires exhibiting a relatively high tendency towards forming such electrical shorts. A specialized wire-bonding tool that can be operated to produce both polymer-coated bond wires and bare bond wires is also provided.
