23 Summary (1) The reliability of ENEPIGEG (E less Ni/Pd/) and E lytic Ni (SBWatt)/IGEG was equivalent to thatt of E lytic Ni (SB Watt)/E lytic after the heat treatment. (2) The reliability dependedd d on the diffusioni behavior of the underplated metals and the grain size of the gold deposit. (3) The grain size of plating coordinated with the grain size of the underplated d metals as the epitaxial crystal growth.
