Laser substrate heater for wire bonding

1. Technical Principle

Laser Substrate Heater for Wire Bonding utilizes high-energy laser beams to selectively heat specific regions of the substrate, achieving precise temperature control and rapid thermal input. Its core mechanisms include:

  • Directional Energy Input: The laser beam (wavelength 900-1064 nm) is focused onto the substrate’s pad area (spot size 50-200 μm), with an energy density reaching 10⁵-10⁶ W/cm², enabling the local temperature to rise to 200-400°C within milliseconds to meet the bonding requirements;
  • Non-Contact Heating: Avoids overall substrate temperature rise caused by traditional heat conduction, reducing thermal stress and warpage (<3 μm);
  • Dynamic Temperature Control System: Combines infrared temperature measurement (accuracy ±0.3°C) with PID closed-loop feedback, achieving real-time temperature control with ±1°C accuracy.

3. Typical Application Scenarios

① High-Density Wire Bonding

  • Micro-pitch Bonding: Supports gold/copper wire bonding with 10μm pitch, reducing thermal damage by 90%;
  • Multi-chip Stacking: Laser local heating of substrate pads enables vertical interconnection of 3D-stacked chips, reducing thermal resistance by 40%.

② Heterogeneous Material Bonding

  • SiC Power Devices: Laser heating of silicon carbide (SiC) substrates (absorptivity >90% @1064 nm) enables aluminum wire bonding with tensile strength >50 MPa;
  • Ceramic Substrates: Alumina substrates preheated by laser (150°C) followed by bonding result in a void rate <2%.

③ Reliability-Sensitive Scenarios

  • MEMS Sensor Packaging: Laser heating avoids thermal deformation of MEMS structures, with sensitivity deviation <0.1%;
  • Automotive-Grade Chips: Bonding under a wide temperature range (-40°C to 175°C), thermal cycling life increased to over 1000 cycles.

4.Future Trends

  • Ultra-High-Speed Heating: Femtosecond lasers (pulse width <100 fs) enable picosecond-level temperature rise, facilitating non-destructive bonding of ultra-thin chips (<10 μm);
  • Green Manufacturing: Development of green lasers (532 nm) to reduce energy consumption, combined with lead-free soldering processes to comply with RoHS standards;
  • Intelligent Upgrade: AI real-time optimization of heating parameters (response time <1 ms), reducing defect rates to <0.01%.
