Abstract
A method of attaching bond wires to bond pads on an active surface of a semiconductor die, where the bond pads are disposed along four side edges of the die, and have aluminum top layers. The method includes attaching first bond wires to first bond pads on first and second opposing sides of the die using a first group of settings and attaching second bond wires to the bond pads on third and fourth sides of the die that oppose each other and are adjacent the first and second sides, using a second group of settings. The first and second groups of settings include first and second scrub settings that are different from each other. Employing two separate scrub settings allows for reduced splashing of the aluminum cap layer on the die pad from splashing onto passivation edges of the bond pads.
