摘要

The increasing demand for high-performance and high-frequency electronic devices necessitates advanced packaging technologies that minimize wire loop height and improve signal integrity. In this study, we propose an integrated process optimization framework for wedge bonding by combining machine learning (ML) models with Taguchi-based experimental design. A dataset was efficiently constructed using a Taguchi orthogonal array, enabling the comprehensive evaluation of multiple ML models. An ensemble framework was developed by integrating a random forest (RF) classification model for predicting process feasibility and an artificial neural network (ANN) regression model for loop shape prediction, achieving a high prediction accuracy (R2 = 96.24%). Using the optimized parameters derived from the model, an ultra-low loop height of 85.07 μm was successfully fabricated. Application of the optimized process to a C-band monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) package improved signal transmission performance (S21) by 13.4%. These findings demonstrate that the proposed ML–assisted optimization approach effectively overcomes the limitations of traditional experimental design and provides a scalable methodology for next-generation high-frequency packaging technologies.
