Comparative Study of Chloride and Fluoride Induced Aluminum Pad Corrosion in Wire-Bonded Device Packaging Assembly

The introduction of copper as wire bonding material brings about a new challenge of aluminum bond pad bimetallic corrosion at the copper/aluminum galvanic interface. Aluminum is well known to undergo pitting corrosion under halide-contaminated environments, even in slightly acidic conditions. This p...
