Abstract

A wire bonding capillary for a bonding process comprises an elongated capillary body having an axial bore through the body for receiving a wire of a predetermined diameter to be bonded, and a working face on one end of the body for applying force to the bonding wire during the bonding process. The working face includes a first surface portion surrounding the bore and having a first radius of curvature, and a second surface portion adjacent to the first surface portion and having a second radius of curvature smaller than the first radius curvature.
