Abstract

A wire bonding method involves bonding a wire in order at a first bonding point and a second bonding point; raising a capillary, through which the wire is inserted, on the second bonding point; cutting the wire by closing a clamper provided above the capillary at a time when the capillary has reached a prescribed height; and measuring a load incurred on the wire at a time of cutting of the wire.
