Abstract
The present invention solves a problem that in a wire bonding process, an inert gas used for prevention of oxidation of a substrate gave rise to shimmer due to the temperature difference during bonding, thereby degrading the precision of pattern recognition. With this invention's bonding device, shielding lids, andare disposed at upper and lower parts of a ring illuminationand at a lower part of lens barrel. Shimmerof nitrogen gas that blows out from a working holecan thus be prevented from entering inside ring illumination, especially by shielding lidat the lower part of ring illumination. As a result, the recognition precision of a recognition camera can be improved and the wire bonding precision of the μm order can be improved.
