Nickel corrosion in ENIG and ENEPIG is occasionally reported; when encountered at assembly it manifests as soldering failures in ENIG and wire bond lifts in ENEPIG. Although not common, it can be highly disruptive, resulting in missed deliver schedules, supply chain disruption, failure analysis investigations, and liability - all very costly.

As a surface finish for PCBs, Electroless Nickel/Electroless Palladium/Immersion Gold (ENEPIG) was selected over Electroless Nickel/Immersion Gold (ENIG) for CMOS image sensor applications with both surface mount technology (SMT) and gold ball bonding processes in mind based on the research available on-line. Challenges in the wire bonding process on ENEPIG with regards to bondability and other plating related issues are summarized.

The expression "multifunctional PCB", as a synonym for a PCB which is applicable with a variety of assembly techniques, is already established on the market. That means the PCB can be used for multiple reflow soldering and multiple assembly techniques lik
