Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus for monitoring the presence of a bonding wire in a wire bonding machine. The apparatus generates an AC signal which is coupled to the bonding tool. A sensor senses a current of the AC signal flowing to the bonding tool and a current of the AC signal returned from the bonding tool. The current flows are compared to one another to determine the presence or absence of the bonding wire in the bonding tool.
