This study has led to an important finding that one of the primary causes for cracks in the laser-welded Au-coated optoelectronic materials is due to the existence of the plating layer during the final stage of solidification. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that a Ni underlayer coating without P content should be used prior to the Au plating to prevent crack formation in laser-welded Au coated optoelectronic packaging.
