Figure 1. The Pareto Chart Corresponding to Table 1

The Pareto Chart in Figure 1 clearly shows that the greatest contributors to the ball bond lifting problems of the engineer who undertook the data collection are bonder set-up issues, unetched glass on bond pads, and foreign contaminants on bond pads. Thus, the engineer has to focus on these causes to reduce their ball lifting occurrences by as much as 78%.
