Abstract
Galvanic corrosion cause discolored bondpads or nonstick bondpads. Therefore, to improve the quality of microchip Al bondpad, it is essential to eliminate galvanic corrosion. In author´s previous papers, the theoretical model and characteristics of galvanic corrosion have been studied. In this paper, we study possible root causes and elimination solutions of galvanic corrosion on bondpads in wafer fab and assembly processes.
