Hi TechNet! Sorry Lenny but the paper you reference doesn't support the
clam that Al wirebond on ImmAu/ENi is acceptable. Table 4 on page 691and
the associated discussion details successful Au wedge bonding on ImmAu/ENi
but not for aluminum. There have been some reports of successful Al
wirebonding on ImmAu/ENi (as soon as I can dig up the reference out of my
files I'll post it on TechNet) but not that specific reference.

Subject:  Re: [TN] Is Al to Ni wirebonding possible




Hello Rusty,

Consult "Wirebondability and solderability of various metallic finishes for
use in printed circuit assembly."  by Hillman, Bratin and Pavlov; 1996 IPC
Expo, S.J.

Results have shown peel strengths to be way below IPC wirebondability
requirements, for Al wire on elNi/ImAu. Au wire, however, passes the peel
strength requirement.
