Abstract :
Gold-tin alloys are useful in many microelectronic applications, including chip bonding and wafer bump plating. The 80-20 wt% (70-30 at%) gold-tin eutectic alloy is particularly desirable as a solder. Electro-deposition is a low cost alternative to currently employed techniques such as sputtering, plasma jet or the use of solid alloy preforms
