Note: This tool will be available in June 2026.

About

The F&S 5600i die shear and wire pull testing tool is used to evaluate quality of wire bond or die attach process for microelectronic, optoelectronic, and hybrid devices. It has interchangeable modules to measure small die/ball or large die shear strength as well as wire pull force. Results can be analyzed and output immediately or exported in a number of data base formats for subsequent analysis as desired.

Application

  • Wire pull Testing is a testing method that evaluates the strength and reliability of wire bonds by determining the pull-off force at which the bond wire will fail.
  • Wire bond shear testing is a crucial evaluation technique used to assess the strength and integrity of wire bonds. By measuring the maximum force required to break the bond, shear testing provides valuable insights into the bond’s mechanical reliability and performance.
  • Die shear test checks the die-bonding quality by determining the shear force at which the die is separated from the surface.

System Overview

The tester shares the mainframe with the wire bonder and converts into a pull/shear tester by swapping the heads. The same mechanical features as wire bonder are available for the tester.

  • XY motor driven workholder with 100x100mm travel range.
  • Z axis with 60mm range and 360° rotation.
  • Pattern Recognition.
  • Automatic repeat measurements on hybrids or COB using the programmable table movement.
  • Automatic calculation of the real pull forces at the bond points for standard compliant tests
