Abstract
Thick film bond surfaces ( ) on a support structure ( ), such as a ceramic substrate or an IC package substrate, tend to deform during processing. A personality kit ( ) having raised bosses ( ) engages with and compresses the bond surfaces, resulting in a flatter, wider bond surface having improved reflectivity. The personality kit ( ) is fit within a clamp ( ) that can be used as a stand-alone unit or integrated into an existing machine, such as a wire bonder ( ).
