Questions are: * Is the problem 'wire bonds that don't stick' or 'wire bonds that fall or break off later'? * What materials are you working with? * What is your working time after plasma clean? * What does surface analysis tell you about surface con

We have some no sticks, but that is actually a good thing because we have NSD. During process control audits we found that pull strengths to the board dropped off. We build a military application that requires higher bond strenghts. Low pull streg

We've recently encountered some problems with wire bond strengths. I'm looking for anybody that has had some experience with different types of substrate contamination and methods for cleaning. There is no visible contamination on the gold pads, bu

There maybe multiple drivers to your problems. * First, decreasing bond quality with time indicates a plating issue. What's the actual thickness of your gold and nickel on the pads? * Second, the no-sticks indicate contamination. If it's organic, p

Dear Sir, Sorry for the delay in reply. This is regarding MIL standard for bond pull strength: MIL-STD-883C dt.25/08/83 Bond strength (destructive bond pull test); refer table-1 Minimum bond strengths for various wire composition & diameter given.

you tell me, the customer has started to pull at some of the leads of some IC's with tweezers while de-bugging boards that had failed in the field, he was able to pull some of the leads away from the solder joints, we feel he may be over-doing it a

Ramanandkini 14 gm versus 5 gm: 14 gm [even 10 gm] sounds better than 5 gm. We get good bond pull XBAR (high teens) and low sigma (

Thanks Mr.Dave. Sorry for the delay. One of our major prolems in ENIG plated surface is that wire does not stick. For many years we were getting a bond strength of 14 grams in both ENIG and electroplated surfaces. Now one vendor supplies ENIG boards

Jorge, The basic thumb rule to measure Adhesive Strength remains as bonded Chips at Post Reflow should not move around or misplace when Your Thumb Finger try to do so which called as Thumb Force Test. However as Dave stated, there are various Stre
