Description and Applications
This device is a Silicon-Glass PIN diode chip
fabricated with M/A-COM’s patented HMIC
TM
process. This device features two silicon pedestals
embedded in a low loss, low dispersion glass. The
diode is formed on the top of one pedestal and
connections to the backside of the device are
facilitated by making the pedestal sidewalls
electrically conductive. Selective backside
metallization is applied producing a surface mount
device. This Vertical Conic Section Topology
provides for Exceptional Heat Transfer. The topside
is fully encapsulated with silicon nitride and has an
additional polymer layer for scratch and impact
protection.
These protective coatings prevent
damage to the junction and the anode air-bridge
during handling and assembly.
These packageless devices are suitable for usage in
Moderate Incident Power ( 5 W C.W. ) or Higher
Incident Peak Power ( 50 W ) Series, Shunt, or
Series-Shunt Switches. Smaller Parasitic
Inductance, 0.45 nH, and Excellent RC Constant,
0.23 pS, make the devices ideal for Higher
Frequency Switch Elements compared to their
Plastic Device Counterparts.

Notes
1. Total capacitance, CT, is equivalent to the sum of Junction Capacitance ,Cj, and Parasitic Capacitance, Cpar.
2. Series resistance RS is equivalent to the total diode resistance : Rs = Rj ( Junction Resistance) + Rc ( Ohmic Resistance)
3. Rs and CT are measured on an HP4291A Impedance Analyzer with die mounted in an ODS-186 package with conductive
silver epoxy.

Handling Procedures
All semiconductor chips should be handled with care
to avoid damage or contamination from perspiration
and skin oils. The use of plastic tipped tweezers or
vacuum pickups is strongly recommended for
individual components. Bulk handling should insure
that abrasion and mechanical shock are minimized.
MA4SPS402

When soldering these devices to a hard substrate,
hot gas die bonding is preferred. We recommend
utilizing a vacuum tip and a force of 60 to 100 grams
applied normal to the top surface of the device.
When soldering to soft substrates, it is
recommended to use a lead-tin interface at the
circuit board mounting pads. Position the die so that
its mounting pads are aligned with the circuit board’s
mounting pads and reflow the solder by heating the
circuit trace near the mounting pad while applying 60
to 100 grams of force perpendicular to the top
surface of the die.
Since the HMIC™ glass is transparent, the edges of
the mounting pads closest to each other can be
visually inspected through the die after attach is
completed.
Bonding Techniques
Attachment to a circuit board is made simple through
the use of surface mount technology. Mounting pads
are conveniently located on the bottom surface of
these diodes and are removed from the active junc-
tion locations. These devices are well suited for
solder attachment onto hard and soft substrates.
The use of 80/20 Au/Sn and 60/40 Sn/Pb solder is
recommended, with an equal temperature profile
across the contacts. Conductive epoxy paste for
attachment may also be used.
