    Application: What type of bonding applications do you plan to run with the new wire bonder?

    Bonding Tools: Are there specific bonding tools or configurations required for your applications?

    NIST Response:

    You will find this information in the Statement of Work.

    Vendor Question 5:

    Accessories: Will you need additional items such as a microscope, work holders, or any other accessories?
