Provided is a thin Au alloy bonding wire having desired strength, good bondability and stability over time, and improved circularity of a squashed ball and sphericity of a melted ball. The Au alloy bonding wire contains, in an Au alloy matrix containing 0.05 to 2 mass % in total of at least one selected from Pd and Pt of high purity in Au of high purity, as trace elements, 10 to 100 ppm by mass of Mg, 5 to 100 ppm by mass of Ce, and 5 to 100 ppm by mass of each of at least one selected from Be, Y, Gd, La, Eu and Si, the total content of Be, Y, Gd, La, Eu and Si being 5 to 100 ppm by mass, or as trace elements, Mg, Be, and at least one selected from Y, La, Eu and Si, or as trace elements, 10 to 100 ppm by mass of Mg, 5 to 30 ppm by mass of Si, 5 to 30 ppm by mass of Be, and 5 to 30 ppm by mass of at least one selected from Ca, Ce and Sn. |
