AB  - Although the groove and slot have been widely utilized for horn design to achieve 
      high uniformity, their effects on uniformity have not been analyzed thoroughly. 
      In this work, spool and bar horns for ultrasonic bonding are designed in a 
      systematic way using the design of experiments (DOE) to achieve high amplitude 
      uniformity of the horn. Three-dimensional modal analysis is conducted to predict 
      the natural frequency, amplitude, and stress of the horns, and the DOE is 
      employed to analyze the effects of the groove and slot on the amplitude 
      uniformity. The design equations are formulated to determine the optimum 
      dimensions of the groove and slot, and the uniformity is found to be influenced 
      most significantly by the groove depth and slot width. Displacements of the spool 
      and bar horns were measured using a laser Doppler vibrometer (LDV), and the 
      predicted results are in good agreement with the experimental data.
