Chuck,
You really need to identify the type of contamination you are dealing
with, i.e., organic, inorganic, etc. Then identify the source, i.e.,
PCB supplier, internal handling practices, storage, etc. Abrading to
get good results can only be a short term fix and can lead to other
problems. Plasma can be employed to remove certain contaminants, and
many wire bonders include a plasma burn as part of standard operating
procedure. Some board manufacturers have taken it upon themselves to
perform at least an oxygen burn in plasma to remove residual organics
prior to shipping product. Photo resists, soldermasks and their
associated processes can leave some organic residues behind on the
gold surfaces.
Hope this helps..Andy

We are presently wire bonding aluminum wire to gold lands on circuit boards.
I have heard many times that wire bonding goes sour to clean them with an
eraser. This seems a little primitive. Is there any other way that this can
be accomplished.
If the eraser works why hasn't someone designed something to take care of
this.
