Abstract

A wire bonding method includes a first bonding process for forming a first ball-shaped part in a wire and bonding the first ball-shaped part to a first connected member; a ball-shaped part forming process for guiding the wire away from a position where the wire is bonded to an inner lead so as to form a predetermined loop, and forming a second ball-shaped part in a predetermined position in the wire; and a second bonding process for bonding the second ball-shaped part to a semiconductor element pad that serves as a second connected member.
