Main Application

This equipment is mainly used for gold electroplating with environmentally friendly cyanide-free plating solution. The electroplated gold layer exhibits excellent electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance, solderability and thermocompression bonding performance, making it an ideal material for I/O contacts and chip interconnection of integrated circuits. Gold electroplating can be applied to various processes of IC chip packaging, including lead frame gold plating, chip pin gold plating, solder ball connection and other applications.

Gold electroplating is an electrochemical process to deposit a gold layer on the substrate surface. The plating solution consists of gold salt, conductive salt, pH regulator and other additives. During the electroplating process, the substrate acts as the cathode. After power is applied, gold ions are reduced and precipitated on the cathode surface to form a gold coating.
Micro-bump Process:
  1. Sputter Au metal on the substrate as the seed layer for electroplating;
  2. Coat photoresist, and develop the required patterns for electroplating via photolithography;
  3. Perform gold electroplating after cleaning, and form bumps through ball placement and reflow.
Sample size shall be less than 6 inches. An Au seed layer is required. Special-shaped samples will extend the process time; please consult the process engineer in advance. Material fees are charged separately.
