It is a good idea. We are in fact doing that. Thank you.

        Hi Richard:
                        Is there a way that you can water soluble liquid
mask it before SMT process? It is just an idea, since I do not know the
particulars of the total process.
        Regards,
        Ramon

the trick is to avoid contamination of your pad.  plasma clean and bond
ASAP.  If you get solder on the pad, you can forget about bonding ....
(even very thin layer of solder)...
As for wet acid clean afer SMT... good luck, brave guy... I am chicken
out on this one...

Subject: [TN] Cleaning of gold wirebond pads


Hi Technetters,
I have a wirebond application for a client where we need to perform
standard SMT, followed up with a wirebonding application. The process is
fairly straightforward, but I do not have a lot of experience doing the
wirebonding after the SMT. I am used to doing the wirebonding of the
chip and the encapsulation before the SMT, on the opposite side.
The question I have is, assuming the wirebond pads may be contaminated
with flux or fingerprints in spite of our best efforts to prevent it, is
there a good way of cleaning the gold pads after the SMT process is
finished, to assure there is no flux or other contamination, and that
the porous 40 uinches of soft gold over the nickel base is completely
dry in order to achieve a good wirebond? We do not have the capabilities
for plasma cleaning, we were wondering if there was another method such
as cleaning with the ultrasonic cleaner we have. I have read reports of
using a mixture of hydrogen peroxide mixed with DI water or weak
sulphuric acid in an ultrasonic bath, but cannot recall where I read
this. Any help in achieving clean and very dry wirebond pads would be
greatly appreciated.
