Abstract
A compression bond is formed between a gold or gold alloy wire and lead/tin solder by forming a head on the wire and forcing the head into a pad of the solder by thermosonic, or thermocompression, or ultrasonic compression bonding techniques. This forms a gold/tin intermetallic compound which in turn forms the bond. The head of the wire is maintained out of contact with any underlying surface, and surrounded by the solder.
