A transducer assembly and wire bonding method has a vibration unit for
generating an ultrasonic wave. A body section is coupled to the vibration
unit for transferring the ultrasonic wave. A tapered horn is coupled to
the body section for transferring and concentrating the ultrasonic wave.
A capillary is coupled to a front section of the horn. The capillary has
a channel running the length thereof. A wire is inserted through the
channel. A discharge device is coupled to the capillary for forming a
ball on the wire for wire bonding.
