Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus for creating second order vibrational modes. The apparatus includes a signal generator, a piezoelectric transducer, a plurality of wave propagating beams and reflecting boards. An electric field applied by the signal generator to the piezoelectric transducer induces a unidirectional vibration of the transducer. The vibration is propagated through the beams and reflected by the reflecting boards in a closed polygonal loop. The final reflection direction is perpendicular to the original vibration. A circular or elliptical vibration of the apparatus results. The circular or elliptical vibrational energy can be imparted to the wire bond of an integrated circuit to add strength to the connection.
