A bonding apparatus can include a console which controls bonding of at least one wire, a first bonding unit disposed on the console to bond a first wire to a first substrate, a second bonding unit disposed on the first bonding unit to bond a second wire to a second substrate different from the first substrate, and a vibration damping unit connected to the second bonding unit preventing vibrations generated in the second bonding unit from transmitting to the first bonding unit.

Method for producing wire bond connections between an electronic component or a module and a substrate with energy input into a bonding wire by an ultrasonic transducer, wherein during the energy input for forming a first wire bond connection, at least one bonding parameter characterizing the instantaneous state of the bonding wire is measured in dependence on time, the curve shape of the time dependence is differentiated by means of predetermined comparative criteria or curves into three curve sections and hereby the temporal course of the method into three phases, to be specific, a cleaning, a fusion and a tempering phase, and the energy fed into the ultrasonic transducer and/or the bonding force exerted on the bonding wire and/or the duration of the energy input into at least one partial section of at least the cleaning and the fusion phase, in particular each of the cleaning, fusion and tempering phases is/are controlled independent of the measurement result in quasi real time during the formation of the first wire bond connection or during the subsequent formation of a second wire bond connection of the same type in dependence on the curve shape in the associated curve section in a phase-specific manner.

To provide a wire bonding apparatus, which is insusceptible to a bonding state at a second bonding point due to a wire cut error or the like, or to members such as a capillary and a wire, and is capable of automatically protruding the wire from a leading end of the capillary, provided is a wire bonding apparatus including: a capillary (6) having a through hole through which a wire (40) is to be inserted; a holding unit, which is provided above the capillary (6), and is configured to hold the wire (40) inserted through the capillary (6); and a vibrating unit configured to vertically vibrate the capillary (6). Under a state in which the holding unit holds the wire (40), the vibrating unit vertically vibrates the capillary (6) so that the wire (40) is protruded from the leading end of the capillary.
