TPT HB100 Wire Bonder

Wire bonding is a method of making interconnections between a microchip and other electronics as part of semiconductor device fabrication. The TPT HB100 Wire Bonder was bought i 2025. It is an automatic desktop wire bonder and supports process guidance for the user. The bonder allows wedge- and ball-bonding, ribbon- and bump-bonding with one bond head.
