Abstract

Gold bonding wire is the most widely used electrical interconnection in semiconductor devices, but wire bonds are also a major source of failure in IC packaging. This paper reports a study of microstructure and mechanical behaviour of 5N pure and doped gold wire and gold rods that were studied by TEM, depth sensing indentation and tensile testing. A possible strengthening mechanism is then proposed.
