The gold bonding wires is the most important material used in making electrical connections between the chip and the external circuit. It has good conductivity and corrosion resistance, and it could be used for extra high speed bonding. So it widely used in microelectronics industry.


Gold bonding wires

Ball-pad
  Now our company has two series of gold bonding wires(doped gold wires and advanced gold wires),nearly 20 categories gold wires, including all Dia. And dimension, it is suitable for the different packaging fields.
  Doped gold bonding wires
HD2
application
HD3
application
The HD2 type ,doped with a few doping elements is a standard wire for the most modern bonding technology in normal and high speed ranges. due to its high loop stability, elevated temperature strength and ductility It can be used in most currently utilized components.
◇ discrete components (SOT, TO,...)
◇ Integrated circuits
(P-DIP, PLCC, QFP,...)
◇ COB (Chip-on-board)
This wire type contains other doping elements apart from the well-established beryllium. Due to this doping, type HD 3 has a higher strength, loop stiffness and thermal stability than type HD 2. Loop stability can also be guaranteed with thinner wire diameters and in flatter and/or long loops.
◇ flat integrated circuits(TSOP, TQFP, VSSOP, IC-cards,…)
◇ other flat product applications
HD5 HD6
Application
   
These highly doped wires of different chemical compositions are very suitable for low and long loop applications. Both wire types are comparable in their characteristics and offer outstanding material and processing properties as well as good high temperature strength. They represent an excellent bridge
between doped and alloyed wires.

  Advanced gold bonding wires:
HA1, HA3, HA5, HA6, HA7                          Application
In contrast to the doped Au wires, the advanced wire types contain a low percentage of alloying elements or special doping composition. This results in markedly higher wire strength, shorter heat affected zones and better thermal stability without a significant increase in electrical resistance. The increased wire strength, while maintaining all other mechanical properties, permits a reduction of wire diameter together with a marked saving in precious metal costs. Advanced bonding wires are especially suitable for the following new techniques: ◇ high speed bonding, high frequency bonding, low temperature bonding
◇ fine pitch/fine size bonding
◇ low and long loop bonding
◇ bumps for flip chip
