PowerRibbon™ Bonder/Conversion Kit
Power Interconnect Technology for Power Semiconductor and Power Modules

  • Orthodyne's new PowerRibbon™ Technology was developed to meet the current and future interconnect needs of the power semiconductor and power module market. Evergy saving power management of electric motors and battery operated portable devices have driven power semiconductor silicon designs to become increasingly more efficient with higher current and lower Rds(on) resistance requirements. To address these applications, semiconductor manufacturers have historically increased the number of large aluminum wires per device or moved to alternative technologies. Where multiple wires only impact productivity, alternate technologies are less flexible or less reliable than wire bonding and can require extensive re-qualification efforts and investments in new capital equipment.


  • PowerRibbon™ is a new technology designed to work with existing aluminum wire bonded packages as well as new package applications. It requires little change in many of today's existing packages and utilizes the same environmentally friendly ultrasonic process as aluminum wire bonding. PowerRibbon™ combines the flexibility and robustness of the large aluminum wire bonding process with a higher productivity and a product performance close to Copper clip bonding.


  • PowerRibbon™ can be retrofitted to any Orthodyne wire bonder. It is currently available for ribbon sizes from 30mil x 3mil up to 80mil x 8mil. For other sizes, contact your Orthodyne Representative regarding your application requirements.


  • Orthodyne understands that performance and productivity of any given process technology varies depending on the actual application. We therfore invite any interested customer to contact Orthodyne with your specific application. Our application department will be happy to assist you to find out if PowerRibbon™ can help to improve productivity or product performance of your power product.
