Bonding copper leads to gold film coatings on alumina ceramic substrate

摘要

A process for thermocompression bonding a copper wire lead to gold film on alumina ceramic substrate by use of a gold interface. The three step process involves: (1) thermocompressing a gold lead with a die-formed head to the gold film, (2) removing the gold lead to form a gold die-formed head bonding pad, and (3) thermocompressing the copper lead to the gold die-formed head bonding pad.
