Abstract:Au wire bond strength on Cu interconnects printed wiring boards was investigated for electroless Au/Pd/Ni-P pads plating prepared with knocking substrates in plating baths. A scanning electron microscope revealed that the surface of NiP plating formed with knocking was smoother than that of NiP plating formed without knocking. Furthermore, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy indicated that no a Ni peak was recognized on Au/Pd/Ni-P plating formed with knocking, while a Ni peak was observed on ones formed without k… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
