Gold is the most noble metal of all. Gold is essentia
Steve



Gold is the most noble metal of all. Gold is essentially inactive which is also why it is so valuable and difficult to dissolve. If oxides are forming on gold surfaces it is usually because the under coating is exposed at the surface or there are impurities in the gold. Since bondable gold is usually pure gold, impurities should not be present. It the problem is organic films, (which are not complexed to the gold) the problem may be residual or packing.



Best regards

  Subject: [TN] Wire bondable gold pads





  Good Morning to all,

  We manufacture various circuits with electroplated wire bondable gold.

  As the final operation before packaging and shipping we plasma clean.

  Our customer is under the impression that the gold can contaminate

  during shipping and storage. My question is do other suppliers do

  special nitrogen/vacuum packaging of product like this to prevent this

  or is this something that should not be happening. Thanks in advance.
