Copper & PCC bonding wirefor India’s semiconductor packaging lines

Bonding wire makes the electrical connection between the chip and its package: hair-thin wires run from the bond pads on the die to the package's leads or substrate. Copper has become the mainstream alternative to gold wire because it costs far less and conducts well.

What it does

Why bonding wire matters on the line

  • Bare copper wire offers good electrical and thermal conductivity at a much lower cost than gold.
  • Palladium-coated copper (PCC) adds a thin palladium layer that resists oxidation and helps bonding consistency.
  • Copper bonding is typically run with a protective forming gas at the bonder.

Specifying it

What to define before you buy

  1. 01Wire type: bare copper or palladium-coated copper
  2. 02Wire diameter
  3. 03Mechanical properties such as breaking load and elongation, matched to your process
  4. 04Spool length and spool type for your bonders
