Hi, folks, I know it is the best to use Al as the bonding wires for Niobium. Unfortunately we don't have a Al bonder. Anyone have experience with bonding gold to Niobium? Or, can I evaporate gold on the Nb at the bonding area and then do the bonding? Any care I need to take in order to let the gold and Nb adhere and conduct well? Thanks. * Zou Jie (Jay) * Department of Physics * University of Florida * Email: zoujiepku@gmail.com
