Abstract
To permit accomplishment of wire bonding at a depth that precludes the use of the conventional clamp adjacent to the bonding tool, a new tool is provided which includes a means for preventing bowing of the wire and a method of using such a tool which substantially obviates any need to feed wire by pushing. The bond is completed at the second circuit point after a special motion which pays out a length of wire sufficient to maintain a loop of wire between the first and second bond points. Another special motion breaks the wire after the second bond and positions and shapes the wire end for making another initial bond.
