ABSTRACT:
A contact member for thermocompression bonding in integrated circuit packaging has on a conductor end a uniform texture deformable layer with a hardness value in the range of that of soft gold which is approximately 90 on the Knoop scale and with a rough surface morphology having ridges with approximately 1 micrometer modulation frequency and a depth between ridges of from 1/4 to 1/2 that of the average integrated circuit pad. The deformable layer is produced by plating gold in a strong electronegative plating bath within a range of 0.03 to 0.05 mA/sq.mm. current density. Plating apparatus, for plating different areas, with different electronegative conditions, with separate independently powered anodes, is provided.
