GOLD - EPOXY PASTES are gold-filled conductive bonding preparations exhibiting high electrical conductivity and bond strength.
The Gold Pastes are easily applied by manual techniques, machine dispensing or screen printing and cured with relatively low applied heat in bonding operations. GOLD - EPOXY PASTES are used to advangate in place of tin-lead solders to avoid flux contamination or exposure of components to excessive heat. The gold products are used in perference to silver-epoxy or other silver preparations to avoid silver migration problems.
GOLD - EPOXY PASTE bond well to alumina ceramic substrates, phenolic circuit boards and transistor headers. They are useful in a variety of applications in solid state and hybrid circuits including:
1.
| Attachment of discrete semiconductor devices and integrated circuits. Ohmic contacts are produced with diodes and transistors, in all package configurations, if the semiconductor surface is first metallized or the surface is highly "doped" and lapped. |
| 2. | Bonding of other active devices, heat sinks and capacitor ships. |
Top electrodes for crossovers and interconnections for parallel and multipurpose circuits.
GOLD - EPOXY PASTE, Type GE-10 is more economical to use since it is a one-part system with waste eliminated in actual use. Type GE-20 and GE-30 are two-part systems and cure mor rapidly and at lower temperature. Type GE-30 is especially recommended for repair of microcircuitry. Type GE-40 is formulated for long pot life and fast cure. It is recommended for screen print applications. All of the GOLD - EPOXY PASTES are designed for low outgassing and for continuous use up to 175℃.

APPLICATION
GOLD - EPOXY PASTES are applied by screening using a 200 mesh stainless steel screen or by other methods of application such as dotting with a needle or by use of automatic dispensing equipment. Parts to be bonded are mounted and pressed lightly, then over-cured under the appropriate conditions of time and temperature.
