Optimization design on process parameters of copper wire bonding for power modules by HU Biao, CHENG Lanxian, LI Zhenling, DAI Xiaoping

“…Secondly, a prediction model of copper wire bonding performance was constructed using the BP neural network, and the optimal values of process parameters were generated by solving the BP neural network fitness function with GA. Comparing the optimization results from the BP genetic algorithm with those from the traditional methods, the former was found in the stability of the copper wire bonding process improved more significantly. …”
