Sun, You can try thermo-compression or conductive epoxy.

My released devices have perfect electical contacts (Al, 5000 Angstroms); but because of weak mechanical adhesion to the underneath Si, when wire bonding was performed, the Al contacts were peeled off (broken), which led to failure in wire bonding. I am wondering if it is remotely possible that there are some other means to bond my contacts, such as a different way of wire bonding (not using ultrosonic) or whatever other approaches to save these perfect devices (except this wire bonding problem). I sincerely appreciate your help. Thanks.
