Abstract
A method of forming a wire interconnect structure includes the steps of: (a) forming a wire bond at a bonding location on a substrate using a wire bonding tool; (b) extending a length of wire, continuous with the wire bond, to another location; (c) pressing a portion of the length of wire against the other location using the wire bonding tool; (d) moving the wire bonding tool, and the pressed portion of the length of wire, to a position above the wire bond; and (e) separating the length of wire from a wire supply at the pressed portion, thereby providing a wire interconnect structure bonded to the bonding location.
