However, in recent semiconductor devices, there has been a demand for bonding that forms a long loop in which the distance between junctions exceeds 4 mm and that further reduces the distance between wires. In response to this demand, a sufficiently reliable bonding cannot be obtained with the conventional gold alloy thin wire.

One or more of the above-mentioned components of Cu, Pb, Li, and Ti were 100 wt. If it is contained in excess of ppm, it has been considered unfavorable because the bondability is degraded, but one or more of Cu, Pb, Li and Ti may be used in an amount of 500 wt. When the content is at least ppm, the bonding property is improved again, and one or more of these components of Cu, Pb, Li, and Ti are components that improve the sphericity of the ball. One or more of Pd, Ru, Pt, Ir, and Rh, which are said to degrade the sphericity of the formed ball, are 1 to 10,000 wt. It has been found that the sphericity of the ball formed at the time of bonding does not deteriorate even if the content is extended to the ppm range.
