Discrete Devices
TO packages (TO-247, TO-220, TO-263, etc.) – Heavy aluminum wire bonding from chip to leads.
SO-8 – Typically uses finer aluminum wire for smaller power ICs.
PDFN (Power DFN) – Low-profile power packages requiring precise, low-heat ultrasonic bonding.
Power Modules
SPM (Smart Power Module) – Integrated power + drive circuitry; aluminum wire bonds connect IGBTs/diodes.
APM (Advanced Power Module) – High-density modules for automotive/industrial; dual-head boosts throughput.
IPM (Intelligent Power Module) – Often used in motor drives & inverters;
requires consistent, reliable wire bonding for high-current paths.
