Have you considered a temporary water washable solder mask. Elvaway solder mask tapes have been protecting Gold Fingers during soldering and simply wash away in a water wash process and leaves no residue.

Use MicroCoat Technologies UV cure solder mask. will leave PCB absolutely clean. used in many PCB solder/wirebonding apps. http://www.m-coat.com

SR. Here is a shot in the dark but have you try'd KNS? I know they have been working on some cool polymers...send them a note as they may have something that meets your needs. They may not have anything that can be removed but it is worth a try. pol

I've faced this several times in the past, and the only real solution is to wirebond before SMT assembly. Everything leaves a residue, and trying to clean a residue off later is basically hopeless. This may require some trickery in your SMT process

Hi all. I am looking into the implementation of the Chip on Board process with eutactic bonding and the then using either gold or aluminum wire to make wedge type wire bonding. Since I am totally new to this, can somebody guide me thru the process,

Dave's estimation is pretty conservative but there is a lot of equipment out there and a lot of people happy to make a sale.Implementing both mentioned processes it's difficult and time consuming .Even if you get good training from whoever sells you

Singh, The equipment varies in price. We make a wire bonder called the HW27U-H Wire Bonder. This is a gold to gold wire ball bonder. The substrate size you mention is within the area we can take into the machine. The key is the bonding area.

4 wire per sec ... you figure how many you need] Encapsulation ~$120K for a dispenser [10 sec per die ... you figure how many you need] plus a cure oven ~$100k Throw in a another ~$100k for marking and cleaning Check the September 2000 SMTnet New

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
