3. Nationstar Gold Wire and Nationstar Copper Wire:

LED bonding wire is one of the key materials for led packaging, its function is to realize the electrical connection between led chip (also called wafer) and external pins and plays the role of importing and exporting the current between the chip and the outside world. Nationstar led wires are mainly:

• 1). Gold Wire

A. Gold wire is the most widely used and the most mature process.

B. Expensive, resulting in high packaging costs of leds.

C. The use of Au purity of 99.99% or more of pure gold wire drawing, reliable and stable performance is guaranteed.

D. LED’s main function is to brighten, color change, etc., gold is generally used for anti-oxidation to ensure contact stability.

E. The number of gold lines (in fact, the chip electrode) has little to do with the size of the chip, 24mil also has a double electrode and single electrode.

F. Gold line or with the chip process and characteristics, the general single-electrode chip are vertical structure, the bottom can be directly energized so less an electrode, directly to the electrode to the substrate, these general red and yellow chips are mostly. And most of the double line is the horizontal structure, positive and negative poles do in a plane, the bottom substrate insulation, this kind of general blue and green chips are mostly.

• 2). Alloy Wire

Alloy wire, also known as silver alloy wire, based on gold wire with a large amount of silver and IMC to maintain the stability of the palladium and a small amount of trace elements, there is a certain degree of oxidation, immature application in the old welding line equipment or need to add nitrogen protection to use.

• 3). Copper Wire (single crystal copper wire and palladium-plated copper wire)

A. Copper wire is inexpensive, costing only 1/3-1/10 of gold wire, and has great potential for cost reduction.

B. The high stiffness of copper wire compared to gold wire makes it more suitable for bonding of small wires.

C. Copper wire is easily oxidized, and the bonding process is unstable.

D. Copper wire has higher hardness, yield strength and other physical parameters than gold and aluminum.

• 4). Performance Test

A. Reverse pressure test: under the reverse pressure test, led gold wire package chip did not fail, the test effect of quality is obvious.

B. Anti-oxidation test (oxidation effect): led gold wire ＞ alloy wire ＞ copper wire

C. Production process: gold wire is stable in nature, not easy to oxidize, easy to handle; alloy wire needs to add protective gas in the process, the technical requirements are high; copper wire is hard, difficult to bond.

4. Technical Aspects (RGB LED)：
