single fiber bond wire See explanation below... Explanation: 1) Single fiber is definitely referring to the fiber optic, of that I am convinced. 2) bond wire can SOMETIMES mean 'ground OR earth bonding wire', but as they are looking at sizes down to 80µm, I don't think that's likely here; my instinct says that this is indeed talking about the microelectronics bond wire --- I'm not entirely familiar with this, but presume it is referring the fine wires used internally to 'bond' [= make a firm connection] between the IC chip and the pin-out metalwork, or something along those lines... |

single fiber bond wire further comment Explanation: Further to Dusty's comments: 1. A bond wire in this context is a fine used to connect a pad (terminal) on an IC chip to an external lead or contact (e.g. a lead of a lead frame or a pad of a printed circuit). 2. IMHO 'single fiber bond wire' is at best confused (possibly a translation?). 'Single fiber' may well refer to the fibre optic; at least in English it can't refer to the bond wire, which is metallic. It might be that 'single-strand bond wire' is what was meant, although this would also be a bit strange because bond wire (in this context) is always single-strand. 3. BTW, I would interpret 'high-power' here to mean eather 'high-performance' or 'having high magnifying power'. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr 23 mins (2005-04-15 13:12:58 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Maybe the heading should be \'single-fiber bond wire sensor\' -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr 25 mins (2005-04-15 13:14:10 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Hmmm, the first point should read \'is a fine wire...\' |
