Finite Element Simulation of the Thermosonic Bonding Process
Thermosonic wire bonding is the process in which chip is connected to the substrate using very fine diameter wire. 90% of today’s interconnect are accounted by thermosonic wire bonding due to its fast and low cost properties. However, accurately controlling the impact and stead state force, and the ultrasonic energy of the thermosonic process remains a novel study today. The goal of the finite element simulation is to determine the most optimized process parameters, which after calibration with the experimental results, will allow more reliable and lower cost wire bonding system to be implemented in the industry.

Additional Information/Other Interests
In my spare time, I enjoy playing a variety of sports, which include basketball, ping-pong, bowling, tennis and board games. I also like to collect special edition coins and paper bills from various countries. Most of all, I love to meet new people, because everyone has something special to learn from.
