Gold Wire Ball Bonding

Hi Zhenfeng,

I have a similar structure as yours. The electrode is 1um  TiW/Au/TiW on
top of 3um BCB and 0.8um SiNx. It works well with Al wire bonding. You can
try Al wire.

The method Michael mentioned is a good solution. You can also use small
indium ball to attach the wire on the bonding pad.

Best,
Yongliang
