Abstract

See full text

The application relates to a method for determining a bonding connection (1) in a component arrangement (2), wherein the method has the following steps: producing a bonding connection (1) between a bonding section (3) of a bonding wire (4) and a metallic contact point (5), structuring a top-side surface of the bonding wire (4) in the region of the bonding section (3) and determining the bonding connection (1), wherein in this case a test voltage is applied to the bonding wire (4) and the bonding connection (1) so that the bonding connection (1) heats up owing to the current flow, generating a thermogram for the heated bonding connection (1) and determining whether the bonding connection (1) has been produced correctly by evaluating the thermogram. Furthermore, the application relates to a test apparatus for determining a bonding connection (1) in a component arrangement (2).
