This device is a silicon, glass PIN diode surmount chip
fabricated with M/A-COM Technology Solutions patented
HMIC
TM
process. This device features two silicon pedes-
tals embedded in a low loss, low dispersion glass. The
diode is formed on the top of one pedestal and connec-
tions to the backside of the device are facilitated by mak-
ing the pedestal sidewalls electrically conductive. Selective
backside metallization is applied producing a surface
mount device. This vertical topology provides for excep-
tional 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.
Applications
These packageless devices are suitable for usage in
moderate incident power, ≤ 50dBm/C.W. or where the
peak power is ≤ 75dBm, pulse width is ≤ 1μS, and duty
cycle is ≤ 0.01%. Their low parasitic inductance, 0.4 nH,
and excellent RC constant, make these devices a superior
choice for higher frequency switch elements when
compared to their plastic package counterparts
.

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.
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 devices and are removed from the active junction locations. These devices are well
suited for solder attachment onto hard and soft substrates. The use of 80Au/20Sn, or RoHS compliant solders is
recommended. For applications where the average power is ~1W, conductive silver epoxy may also be used. Cure per
manufacturers recommended time and temperature. Typically 1 hour at 150°C.
When soldering these devices to a hard substrate, hot gas die bonding is preferred. A vacuum tip pick-up tool and a force of
60 to100 grams applied to the top surface of the device is recommended. When soldering to soft substrates, such as Duroid, it
is recommended to use a soft solder at the circuit board to mounting pad interface. Position the die so that its mounting pads
are aligned with the circuit board mounting pads. While applying a downward force perpendicular to the top surface of the die,
apply heat near the circuit trace and diode mounting pad. The solder connection to the two pads should not be made one at a
time as this will create unequal heat flow and thermal stress to the part. Solder reflow should not be performed by causing heat
to flow through the top surface of the die to the back. Since the HMIC glass is transparent, the edges of the mounting pads
can be visually inspected through the die after attachment is completed.
Typical re-flow profiles for Sn60/Pb40 and RoHS compliant solders is provided in
Application Note M538
, “Surface Mounting
Instructions“ and can viewed on the MA-COM website @
