Hello Sergey, thanks for your input. The capillary i'm using seems to pick up material from the bond surface fairly quickly. Can't think of a solution at the moment. regards, david.

Hi, i'm david, new to this forum. Came across your posting about using a delvotec bonder to TS bond to a ENIG pad. Given that the immersion gold layer is thin, does the capillary scrub through the gold layer to expose the underlying nickel? Does your

We are presently aluminum wirebonding to gold plated lands. Our board manufacturer has been very inconsistient in the quality. It seems as though theey are over etched by about half the amount they should be. Can anyone give me the spec's that normal

The paper Dave posted the link for is great. I have to go back and read it in depth. I can build prototypes by wirebonding to ENIG. I can do it on a manual wirebonder but I don't have the patience to do it on a magazine to magazine automatic machi

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.

Electroplated nickel and electroplated gold is the more �traditional� finish for aluminum wire bonding. That surface was an extension of gold thermosonic wire bonding that requires a thick [50 thou min] gold surface. For years fabricators recommend

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
