Hi Doug,

Usually this means a 30 to 50 uinches of pure soft gold.  It can be achieved by
electroplating or electroless plating.  A 100-200 nickel diffusion barrier
is also
a common standard. 

Wirebonding requires (for best performance) a pure deposit, a contamination
free surface and uniform coverage/thickness.

If you need more info or a source for such surface finishing please feel
free to 
give me a call.
