Abstract

A bonding pad structure for use with compliant dielectric materials and a method for wire bonding is described in which a rigid layer is formed between the bonding pad and the compliant dielectric layer. The rigid layer increases the stiffness of the bonding structure such that an effective bond may be achieved by conventional ultrasonic and thermosonic bonding methods.
