Gold and Gold Alloy Bonding Wires

Gold and Gold Alloy Bonding Wires

More than 50 Years of Trust and Experience

Gold (Au) and gold alloy bonding wires with high performance continue to support the semiconductor industry. They boast chemical stability and excellent electrical conductivity not found in other metals. Through material development, we can achieve functions such as fine pitch and low loop while maintaining high purity.

Silver Alloy Bonding Wires

Silver Alloy Bonding Wires

Giving Form to the Technologies of a precious Metal Maker

Silver (Ag) alloy bonding wires have excellent electrical and thermal conductivity. They are also effective wires for optical semiconductor devices such as LEDs as they have high reflectivity in the visible spectrum. In addition, as an alternative material for gold (Au) wires, costs can be reduced by approximately 80%.

Aluminum and Copper Bonding Wires for Power Devices

Aluminum and Copper Bonding Wires for Power Devices

The Standard for Power Devices

TANAKA Denshi Kogyo offers high-purity aluminum (Al) and copper (Cu) bonding wires (100 to 500µm) and ribbons (width 0.5 to 2.0mm) with excellent surface properties of automotive grade. As aluminum has excellent moisture resistance , it is often used in power device applications that drive high currents under harsh environments. We also have wires for power devices that use copper, which has even better electrical conductivity.
