A fine palladium alloy wire for semiconductor element wire bonding, which has a configuration superior to the looped configuration of a fine gold alloy wire and a secured junction reliability, and hence can substitute for a gold alloy bonding wire. This wire is produced from a palladium alloy comprising at most 0.0003 wt. % of each of calcium, aluminum, chromium and silicon, 0.001-0.01 wt. % of iridium, and if necessary at least either 0.001-2.0 wt. % of gold with a purity of 99.99 % or above or 0.001-5.0 wt. % of silver with a purity of 99.99 % or above, and the balance consisting of palladium with a purity of 99.99 % or above and inevitable impurities. |
