  Inge,

  Is the dielectric used in the die still SiO2 or it is a polymer?

  Hi all, especially the Indi-man,
  We have soldered IRC's power MOSFET (100-250  W) dice for a decade without
  problems. They use to be vacuum soldered to a solderable gold thickfilm
  Al2O3 substrate with AuSn 50 micrometer preforms. Now there is a production
  stop because of Al heavy wire wedge bonding problems. My analysis of this
  case points at the presence of large voids in the solder joints  or maybe
  partly dewetting (FineFocus is good but the resolution is not sufficient to
  make me sure), something the US mechanical waves don't like. The die
  backside is plated with something that I don't recognize: Cadmium over
  Silver over Nickel. What the heck is that? Anyone who can figure out if AuSn
  is the best preforms for that plating?
  Thanks
  /Inge
