Role of dopants on the properties of gold bonding wire

Gold bonding wire is a widely used electrically conducting interconnection in microelectronics industry, due to its good combination of inertness and low resistivity. The increasing miniaturization of electronics required the reduction in the pitch of the input/output inter-connections, and conseque...

Description
Summary:Gold bonding wire is a widely used electrically conducting interconnection in microelectronics industry, due to its good combination of inertness and low resistivity. The increasing miniaturization of electronics required the reduction in the pitch of the input/output inter-connections, and consequently made it necessary to reduce the wire diameter, while maintaining, or even increasing its performance.
