On the main page of Smtnet towards the end of the opening paragraph states the following...Your " research continues in determining the reliability of thick film hybrid microcircuits and similar technologies using low-temperature, co-fired ceramics.

I have been reading a good deal about IMC (purple plague in particular) in gold wire/aluminum pad wire bonds. My company uses ultrasonic wedge bonding, and for the most part all of our bonding is gold/gold, however we have one particulr part that has

Thanks a lot flipit, I am not directly involved in this "problem" but is my friend that have his CM rejecting PCBs because it says the "+" mark (spokes lengths) are out of tolerances. It seams CM bonder's require tolerance +/- 0,05(? not sure). I d

For soldered areas, we like to keep gold thickness substantially below the maximum you propose. Search the fine SMTnet Archives for our discussions on the topic of acceptable levels of gold with solder connections. Let�s fix this �no one seems be s

5uin. Your nickel thickness is fine. Although if you wanted to trade costs, consider giving-up nickel to 150uin thickness, while increasing the gold thickness. Gold over electroless nickel creates brittle joints because of phosphorous in the nicke

I plan to design a multichip module which contains 1 chip with about 200 pads and 2 chips with about 50 pads, no other components.The whole module shall replace as intermediate solution a single chip CPU in QFP208. Thus, the MCM itself must have t

Looking for a large area wire ball bonder or wedge bonder. Must be able to take 4" X 5" panel and have a bond area of close to 3.5" X 4.4". Also need 6 to 8 wire per second. K&S no longer makes one. Panasonic no longer makes one. ASM does not mak

Hi, I would not be too concerned about what the shape of your wirebonding fiducial is. Cross, Square, Diamond, Circle, will all work well for you. I use a "+" and a diamond. Your machine magnification will be great, so don't make the fiducials to

We are in the watch & clock Business. We have a Watch IC chip that has to be wirebonded using Ultrasonic aluminium wedge bonder. The wire dia is 1.25mil. The PCB is made of G10 Glass epoxy copper clad laminate. The copper thickness is 18 microns. The
