There is provided a machinable. alpha. +. beta. brass containing bismuth and phosphorous. By maintaining the phosphorous content within a critical range, the alloy exhibits good elevated temperature tensile elongation in the temperature range of 100. degree. C. -350. degree. C. without a decrease in machinability due to phosphide formation. In preferred embodiments, the alloy further contains a tin addition for enhanced corrosion resistance. The combination of tin and phosphorous provides enhanced corrosion resistance to the alloy than could be predicted from either addition alone.

A particular aluminum base alloy system which utilizes gallium as an alloying element is described and is particularly useful as foil material in electrical capacitors. The addition of the small amount of gallium to the alloy system provides foil produced from the alloy with a significant increase in capacitance properties. A particular processing scheme for producing foil from this alloy system is also disclosed.

There is disclosed a copper base alloy which contains specified additions of chromium, zirconium, cobalt and/or iron, and titanium as well as methods for the processing of the copper alloy. One method of processing results in a copper alloy having high strength and high electrical conductivity. A second method of processing results in a copper alloy with even higher strength and a minimal reduction in electrical conductivity.

Copper alloys are disclosed which may be bonded to aluminum containing members with reduced formation of undesirable copper-aluminum intermetallic compounds. The copper alloys consist essentially of about 15% to about 30% nickel and the balance essentially copper. The nickel addition in the alloys suppresses the nucleation rate and the subsequent growth rate of copper-aluminum intermetallic compounds. The copper alloys of the instant invention have particular utility in integrated circuit assemblies as lead frames, lead wires and beam lead tapes.

Machinable copper alloys having a reduced lead concentration are disclosed. An additive to the alloy accumulates both at the grain boundaries and intragranularly. The additive facilitates chip fracture or lubricates the tool. One additive is a mixture of bismuth and lead with the lead concentration below about 2% by weight.

The invention provides a process for the manufacture of copper alloys having improved processability. The alloys are melted and atomized into droplets which are spray cast into a coherent deposit. The spray cast alloys are characterized by a finer dispersion of intermetallic than is possible by conventional casting. The alloys are capable of being cold rolled to a reduction of up to 70%. The spray cast alloys exhibit good electrical conductivity and a high yield strength. They are particularly suited for electrical spring contacts.

A composite copper alloy having a modified surface is provided. An element or combination of elements both soluble in copper and reactive with nitrogen are cast with copper or a copper alloy forming a solid state solution. The alloy is reacted with a nitride former to modify the surface. A continuous surface film is formed by heating in a nitrogen containing gas. A dispersion of nitride precipitate in a copper matrix is formed by implanting nitrogen ions.

The present invention relates to a thermosonic wire bonding technique for forming high quality wire interconnections in semiconductor devices. The technique includes using palladium or palladium alloy lead wires to form the wire interconnections between the components of a semiconductor device. The technique also includes forming a protective atmosphere about the palladium lead wire during a portion of the bonding process and controlling the stage temperatures used during the bonding process.

There are disclosed processing methods to improve the properties of copper base alloys containing chromium and zirconium. One method of processing results in a copper alloy having high strength and high electrical conductivity. A second method of processing results in a copper alloy with even higher strength and a minimal reduction in electrical conductivity. While a third method of processing results in a copper alloy having improved bend formability.
