Comparison of metallization systems for thin film hybrid microcircuits. Part I. Fabrication and lead frame bondability

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5489625
Cr/Pd/Au and Ti/Pd/Au metallization systems with either evaporated or electroplated gold were evaluated relative to the currently used Cr/Au (evaporated) system. A description of the five systems and the process steps used to fabricate thin film networks are discussed. Over 7000 leads from thermocompression bonded lead frames were pull tested to determine the bondability and adhesion characteristics of the film.
