  • BASE METAL-GOLD WIRE FOR WIRE BONDING IN SEMICONDUCTOR FABRICATION
    Publication number: 20020056915
    Abstract: A wire and method of making the wire for use in conjunction with the fabrication of semiconductor devices which consists essentially of forming one of an alloy or composite of from a finite amount approaching zero to about 50 percent by weight of at least one of carbon and the metals taken from the class consisting of platinum, silver and electrically conductive base metals and the rest gold. A wire is then formed from the alloy or composite. The noble metal alloyed with gold is preferably silver and the base metals that can be used are preferably copper or aluminum.
    Type: Application
