Hi Inge-

No, no requirement for "half moon crescent", other than, if you have good pulltest data, the flameoff process is working well, and the underlying pad you are stitching to isn't damaged, then probably you will have a nice crescent.

No, never used Manson.  We encapsulate or overmold everything we make, so vibration isn't an issue.  And if repetitive thermal cycles are the problem, then I suspect that the intermetallic areas are more likely going to fail first.  As a matter of fact, once predicted failures go out more than 20 years, a whole bunch of low probability of occurrence stuff has a chance to happen!

Was the stress you analyzed due to vibration?  You mention Kovar and alumina, but I thought those were supposed to be matched closely enough that rates of thermal rise and thermal conductivity are more important than linear coeff of elongation.

Thanks Wayne.
1.  No aspect on 'half moon crescent' ?

2.  Have you or  someone else practised Manson's universal slope equation 
for calculation of life expectancy of bond wires?

Delta epsilon = 3.5 x sigma b/E  x  Nf exp-0.12  +  epsilon1 exp 0.6 x Nf 
exp -0.6
where
Delta epsilon = elongation
sigma b = rupture tension
E = elasticity module
Nf = number of cycles to rupture
epsilon1= rupture elongation

We used this for deciding how many cycles gold wires would withstand in a 
typical MIL aircraft application when the substrates were alumina and the 
packages Kovar. The result was som 50,000 - 100,000 cycles or 60-120 years 
for -55/+125C.

The question is how much one can rely on this calculation model.  Anyone 
done similar ?  Personally I thing one should only see such calculations as 
estimations only.

Inge
