Preferred Assembly Instructions
GaAs devices are fragile and should be handled with great care. Specially designed collets should be used where possible.
The back of the die is metallized and the recommended mounting method is by the use of conductive epoxy. Epoxy should be
applied to the attachment surface uniformly and sparingly to avoid encroachment of epoxy onto the top face of the die. Ideally
it should not exceed half the chip height. For automated dispense Ablestick LMISR4 is recommended and for manual dispense
Ablestick 84-1 LMI or 84-1 LMIT are recommended. These should be cured at a temperature of 150C for one hour in an oven
especially set aside for epoxy curing only. If possible the curing oven should be flushed with dry nitrogen. The gold-tin (80% Au
20% Sn) eutectic die attach has a melting point of approximately 280°C but the absolute temperature being used depends on
the leadframe material used and the particular application. The maximum time at used should be kept to a minimum.
This part has gold (Au) bond pads requiring the use of gold (99.99% pure) bondwire. It is recommended that 25.4mm diameter
gold wire be used. Recommended lead bond technique is thermocompression wedge bonding with 0.001” (25µm) diameter
wire. Bond force, time stage temperature and ultrasonics are all critical parameters and the settings are dependent on the
setup and application being used. Ultrasonic or thermosonic bonding is not recommended.
Bonds should be made from the die first and then to the mounting substrate or package. The physical length of the bondwires
should be minimized especially when making RF or ground connections.
To avoid damage to the devices, care should be exercised during handling. Proper Electro-
static Discharge (ESD) precautions should be observed at all stages of storage, handling,
assembly, and testing.
ESD/MSL Rating
These devices should be treated as Class 1A (250V to 500V) using the human body model as defined in JEDEC Standard No.
22-A114. Further information on ESD control measures can be found in MIL-STD-1686 and MIL-HDBK-263. This is an unpack-
aged part and therefore no MSL rating applies.
