Abstract:
A method for making a bonding tool is provided. The bonding tool includes a three dimensional surface configuration which is a mirror image of a three dimensional surface configuration of a circuit card assembly (CCA). The method includes creating a mirror image of the three dimensional surface configuration of the CCA. After producing the three dimensional surface configuration of the CCA, the method then produces a bonding tool surface with the mirror image of the three dimensional surface configuration. The mirror image of the three dimensional surface configuration isolates delicate components of the CCA during bonding and re-bonding operations of the CCA using the bonding tool.
