A method of forming a microelectronic device structure comprises coiling a portion of a wire up and around at least one sidewall of a structure protruding from a substrate. At least one interface between an upper region of the structure and an upper region of the coiled portion of the wire is welded to form a fused region between the structure and the wire.

A light emitting device mount includes a positive lead terminal, a negative lead terminal, and a resin portion. Each of the positive and negative lead terminal includes a first main surface, a second main surface, and an end surface. The end surface is provided between the first main surface and the second main surface. The end surface includes a first recessed surface area and a second recessed surface area. The first recessed surface area is extending from a first point of the first main surface in cross section. The second recessed surface area is extending from a second point of the second main surface in cross section. The first and second recessed surface areas define a protruding portion protruding outwardly. The resin portion is positioned at least between the end surface of the positive lead terminal and the end surface of the negative lead terminal.

In a copper alloy bonding wire for semiconductor devices, the bonding longevity of a ball bonded part under high-temperature and high-humidity environments is improved. The copper alloy bonding wire for semiconductor devices includes in total 0.03% by mass or more to 3% by mass or less of at least one or more kinds of elements selected from Ni, Zn, Ga, Ge, Rh, In, Ir, and Pt (first element), with the balance Cu and inevitable impurities. The inclusion of a predetermined amount of the first element suppresses production of an intermetallic compound susceptible to corrosion under high-temperature and high-humidity environments at the wire bonding interface and improves the bonding longevity of a ball bonded part.

There is provided a copper bonding wire that exhibits a favorable bondability even when a scrub at the time of bonding is reduced. The copper bonding wire is characterized in that when a sum of percentages of Cu, Cu.sub.2O, CuO and Cu(OH).sub.2 on a surface of the wire as measured by X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) is defined as 100%, Cu[II]/Cu[I] which is a ratio of a total percentage of CuO and Cu(OH).sub.2 (Cu[II]) corresponding to bivalent Cu to a percentage of Cu.sub.2O (Cu[I]) corresponding to monovalent Cu falls within a range from 0.8 to 12.

Bonding wire for semiconductor devices contains one or more of Be, B, P, Ca, Y, La, and Ce in a total of 0.031 at % to obtain a 0.180 at %, further contains one or more of In, Ga, and Cd in a total of 0.05 at % to 5.00 at %, and has a balance of Ag and unavoidable impurities. Due to this, it is possible to obtain a bonding wire for semiconductor devices sufficiently forming an intermetallic compound layer at a ball bond interface to secure the bond strength of the ball bond, not causing neck damage even in a low loop, having a good leaning characteristic, and having a good FAB shape.
