Abstract
A main body of an apparatus for delivering shielding gas during wire bonding of an electronic device has a through-hole in the main body which is sized for allowing a capillary tip of a bonding tool to be insertable through the main body when performing wire bonding. At least one gas outlet located on a bottom surface of the main body adjacent to the through-hole is operative to direct an inert gas in a direction towards the electronic device. At least one gas inlet in the main body is operative to supply the inert gas to the through-hole and to the gas outlet.
