Aluminum Cladded Copper Wire for Power Application
The CucorAl bonding wire is a composite wire type with a coppercore and aluminum coating. Thematerial mix of aluminum and copper provides excellent electricaland mechanical properties.This is reflected by the long-termbehavior during both passive tem-perature cycling tests and especiallyactive power cycling tests – in comparison to pure Al material.The copper proportion of this thickwire is between 60 – 70 percent byvolume. The provided diametersrange from 200 µm until 500 µm.
This wire type can be applied onboth, diodes and on IGBTs. The goodbondability of the wire is achievedby the softness of the aluminumcoating. At the same time, the copper core provides excellent elec-trical and thermal properties.
Furthermore, the Al/Cu structureenables reliable bonding windowswithout changing the chip metal-lization. Additionally, the CucorAl bonding wire has been designed tobe used with conventional bondingequipment.
