I took a couple of Eproms apart and it looks like the cip is soldered to the base with gold, am I right? Also the wires connecting from the pins to the chip did not look to be gold are they silver?
I distroyed a flat pack with a torch (so I could pull the top off) there was some parts within the center were the pins end that did not tarnish or burn but they did not look gold any idea what they could be coated with? I noticed the same thing on regular IC chips. They are a real pain to get apart and I do not think they are actually worth the time (well I know they are not compared to my normal working wage) but it would be nice to know whats in there.
The plated areas and the wire were really white like silver maybe they did not tarnish because of the reducing environment of the plastic burning around them.
