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

It doesn't make sense that contamination would form on your gold pads after prebake of 150C for 3 hrs. The contamination must have been there prior to the bake. Your description makes us think of solder mask bleed. Tell us about: * Solder mask * S

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

Hi, We are having issues aluminum wirebonding on ENEPIG plated PCB by a too low pull force and or having lifts (1% range). Could any body advice how to solve this problem? Is there a special wire bond grade required? How to best clean contaminant

Can anyone advice me on the effect of SN100C wave solder on SAC305 hasl board? I suppose the silver content on the hasl pcb would leech(contaminate) into solder pot.? Would it affect the surface bonding between copper pad and the solder.?

As I understand, you are wire bond gold wire to gold pad, where the substrate has good bond strength, but the die does not. If bond quality is good, and then drops off rapidly, then it's probably something to do with contamination within the system

We're not familiar with the AUG5 from Taiyo. [It doesn't show on their US site.] Is it liquid photoimageable? Printed solder masks are more likely to bleed. But you wouldn't have any solderability with bleed. Your plating seems acceptable [if th
