Wedge bonders use either aluminum wire or ribbon to perform the same function in packages that cannot use gold or copper wire because of either high electrical current requirements or other package reliability issues. Die bonders are used to attach a die to the substrate or lead frame which will house the semiconductor device. It manufactures and sells expendable tools for semiconductor packaging applications. The Company’s principal Expendable Tools segment products include: Capillaries, Bonding wedges, and Saw blades.
