we used the ball bonding, just normal chip on board. as I know the the electroless Ni/immersion Au, the gold thickness is about 0.13um at most, what about chemical plating or electrolytic plating? any experience on it, thanks

This appears to be black-pad and is often the result of using specs that call for gold plating that is too thick. The black pad is corrosion that is created between the gold and electroless nickel during the gold plating process. This is counter in

| I am experiencing a problem with a surface mount coax connector that over time pulls loose from the PWB. The connector has 4 small gold plated leads and we are soldering it to a flash gold board. A cable plugs into the connector and puts some con

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

We are currently wirebonding MCMs with surface components located in very close proximity to wirebond pads, which are gold plated. We are ball bonding with 99.99% Au wire. Normally we do not have problems, however if product has been reflowed seve

ENIG is a common solderability protection on BGA packages. Pd/Ni/Au while more expensive could have advantages over ENIG in the following area: * Allow both gold and aluminium wire bonding * Better solder resist compatibility (63�C max) * Might take
