Abstract
A method of forming a bend in a wire loop is provided. The method includes the steps of: (1) forming a first bend in the wire loop at a predetermined portion of the wire loop; (2) paying out a length of wire after step (1); and (3) forming a second bend in the wire loop at the predetermined portion after step (2).
Claims14
A method of forming a bend in a wire loop, the method comprising the steps of:
- (1) forming a first bend in the wire loop at a predetermined portion of the wire loop;
- (2) paying out a length of wire after step (1);
- and
- (3) forming a second bend in the wire loop at the predetermined portion after step (2).
A method of forming a wire loop to provide interconnection between a first bonding location and a second bonding location, the method comprising the steps of:
- (1) forming a first bond at the first bonding location with a bonding tool such that a wire engaged with the bonding tool is continuous with the first bond;
- (2) forming a bend in the wire after step (1), the step of forming a bend including:
- (a) forming a first bend in the wire at a predetermined portion of the wire,
- (b) paying out a length of wire after step (a), and
- (c) forming a second bend in the wire at the predetermined portion after step (b);
- (3) forming a second bond at the second bonding location such that the wire is continuous from the first bond to the second bond;
- and
- (4) severing the wire such that a length of wire engaged in the bonding tool is separated from the wire loop formed in steps (1), (2), and (3).
A wire loop providing interconnection between a first bonding location and a second bonding location, the wire loop comprising:
- a first bond portion bonded to the first bonding location;
- a second bond portion bonded to the second bonding location;
- and
- a length of wire extending between the first bond portion and the second bond portion, the length of wire including a bend, the bend including:
- (1) a first bend portion in the wire loop at a predetermined portion of the wire loop,
- (2) a first length of wire, and
- (3) a second bend portion in the wire loop at the predetermined portion such that the first length of wire extends between the first bend portion and the second bend portion.
