Bonding wires made of silver (Ag) alloy provide good thermal and electrical conductivity. As they have great reflectivity in the visible band, they are also useful as wires for optical semiconductor devices like LEDs. Additionally, prices can be cut by about 80% when using silver (Ag) wires as an alternative to gold (Au) wires.
The Global Silver Bonding Wires market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
Silver bonding wires have been developed as the ideal compromise between crucial bonding properties for delicate devices and a significant cost saving over gold.
They achieve great bondability and strong dependability. They are appropriate for fine constructions with an ultra-fine pitch and have a diameter size range of 0.6 mils / 15 microns and larger.
The cost of goods in the electronic market is always under pressure. Bonding wires made of materials other than gold are becoming more popular in order to cut prices. But not all materials are suitable for all applications.
For instance, copper could harm the chip during the bonding process whenever dies have delicate or thin bond pads. Silver is a good alternative to gold because it is less expensive and is soft enough for sensitive materials.
A wide variety of silver-based bonding wires from Heraeus are available to meet all of industry needs and applications. In order to achieve the precise configuration needed, they are made up of additional alloy elements and dopants in addition to silver, which makes up 89–99% of the main component.
