Abstract

Some implementations described herein provide a bonding tool having a top bonding fixture that includes an inflatable forcing structure (e.g., a gas bag). When pressurized, the inflatable forcing structure has a curved surface that protrudes from an under side of the top bonding fixture to deform a top semiconductor substrate during a bonding operation. A rate of inflation and/or a pressure within the inflatable forcing structure may be controlled to distribute a force more evenly in a bond region of the semiconductor substrate relative to another bonding tool having another top bonding fixture including a striker pin.
