Technetters, I was wodering if anyone out there is currently using Palladium as a surface finish. I am primarily interested in eless Ni/Pd/ Imm Au. I know that Atotech and LeaRonal both offer this chemistry, but who is using (i.e. end users). What applications are they using it for (i.e. wirebond, solder attach, socket attach of ASICs) Have any assembly problems been identified? Thanks in advance.
