Au wire bonding question
Q. I need to know whether immersion Au plating has been used for wire bonding application. Our specification for Au thickness is 0.5 micron. Can immersion process provide sufficient Au thickness that is required for wire bonding application?

A. Please visit SMTnet This site has in depth research information under electronics forum. You need to search for immersion gold or wire bonding. Alternately, please check a book by Mr.Harman, Wire Bonding in Microelectronics
[on
on Amazonaffil links] published by McGraw Hill. We have a wire bonder and we have info gathered from experienced platers. I can try to answer your specific questions.
Thanks,
