NoSWEEP™ Wire Bond Encapsulants
NoSWEEP™
NoSWEEP™ wire bond encapsulants eliminate wire sweep during transfer molding by locking the wires together. This patented technology is ideal for ultra-fine pitch wire bonds, multi-tier bonding, and 3-D packaging. NoSWEEP™ can be dispensed on conventional off-line dispense systems or in-line on an on-wire bonder dispenser made by Kulike and Soffa. There are UV, UV/thermal, and thermal cure versions.
The thermal cure glob top versions of NoSWEEP™ are designed for full device encapsulation. These products offer JEDEC Level 2A reliability and are designed to work with lead free (260°C) re-flow. There is also a compatible dam for package designs which are not glob top friendly.
The patented technology Ring-lock dispense method (developed jointly with Kulike & Soffa) was created especially for lead-frame and 3-D packages. NoSWEEPs unique high performance epoxy chemistry allows a very small bead of material to be extruded across the wires. The material encapsulates a small section of the wires and is then UV gelled to lock the polymer and the wires in place before molding. Because only a very small amount of polymer is used, this process is an extremely cost effective solution for wire sweep and allows much broader design leeway.
