Abstract

See full text

A method of operating a bonding machine for bonding semiconductor elements is provided. The method includes the steps of: (a) measuring a time based z-axis height measurement characteristic of a bond head assembly during a model bonding process; (b) determining a z-axis adjustment profile for a subsequent bonding process based on the measured time based z-axis height measurement characteristic; and (c) adjusting a z-axis position of the bond head assembly with a z-axis motion system during the subsequent bonding process using the z-axis adjustment profile.
