According to the present invention provided is a gold wire for IC chip bonding which wire is unlikely to be broken after thermosonic wire bonding at an increased ultrasonic output, subsequent reverse deformation involving severe bonding and deformation of a ball neck portion and formation of a loop. The bonding gold wire essentially consists of 0.0001-0.005 wt% of Pt, 0.0001-0.005 wt% of Ag, 0.0005-0.005 wt% of Mg and 0.00005-0.005 wt% of Eu; with the balance being Au, said Au having less than 0.001 % by weight of incidental impurity. |
