Michael Whitehead Establishes MEW Consulting

Well-known wire bonder expert Michael Whitehead has established MEW (Microelectronic Wire Bonding) Consulting to provide process development, equipment repair and other technical assistance on legacy back-end semiconductor assembly equipment being phased out by original semiconductor equipment manufacturers.

The company’s range of technical expertise extends to automatic and manual wire/wedge bonders, ball bonders, die attach and saw platforms.

“There is a need for on-going technical assistance for legacy semiconductor equipment even after original manufacturers have ended their life and no longer support them,” notes Michael Whitehead, President of MEW Consulting. ”MEW Consulting can fill the void by providing a wide variety of process development and support services to keep legacy equipment working until users determine they need to invest in new equipment.”

Mr. Whitehead has a strong semiconductor and customer service background, having worked for 28 years at Kulicke & Soffa in various engineering support positions including field service engineer, senior applications engineer as well as senior customer support engineer. While offering expertise in the service and install of ball bonders, die attach and saw technology, Michael specializes in wedge bonder platforms.
