Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to wirebonding and, more particularly, to an apparatus and method for reduced downward force wirebonding of integrated circuits. A bond pad structure for an integrated circuit has bondable base member for receiving a wire bonded thereon. A cavity is formed within the base member, with the cavity being configured to capture the wire therein. The cavity has one end having a first width and an opposite end having a second width, with the first width being greater than second width.
