Oh, that nothing ;-)) Have you ever
"repaired" an EPROM with melted and
broken bond wires?
Err no. But I have repaired an Avalanche photodiode that had lost its
bondout wire (the other connection was made by having the substrate of
the device on a metal header). The fact there was only one wire made it a
lote eaiser. I literally soldered a piece of very fine, well-tinned wire
to the pin on the header, got it to the right point on the die and just
touched it with a hot soldering iron. Amazingly the device worked
afterwards...
