Abstract:The bonding points of both normal wire and failed wire of the chip were analyzed by Auger elec-tron spectroscopy .The results showed that the element of the chlorine was found in the surface of the bonding point of failed wire ,resulting in corrosion occured and chloride formed at the bonding point .The another possible reason of the failure was migration of Ni atom after 20 min of sputtering at the bonding point .
