This Monolithic Switch performs transmit and receive multiplexing Functionality. Port designations are: 1. 2. 3. 4. 3 Antenna Ports (J1, J2, J3) : Transmit/Receive 1 Source Port (J5) : Main VCO Signal Input 1 L.O. Port (J6) : Offset VCO Signal Output 1 Mixer Port (J4) : Mixer Port Each RF Port contains DC blocking capacitors and a D.C. Bias Network consisting of High Impedance Lines and RF bypass capacitors. This device has 100 um square gold plated bonding pads at all RF and DC ports. RF and DC Ground Backside Gold Plating allows conventional chip bonding techniques using 80Au/20Sn Solder, Indalloy Solder, or electrically conductive silver epoxy. This device is fabricated on OMCVD epitaxial wafers using a process designed for highly repeatable electrical characteristics and extremely low device parasitics. These diodes are fully passivated with Silicon Nitride and have an additional layer of Polymide for scratch and impact protection. This protective coating prevents damage to the junction and circuit during automated or manual assembly. DIM. A B C D E F G H I J K L M N NOTES INCHES MIN.

This device utilizes Tungsten metallization under the gold. Solder which does not scavange gold, such as 80 Au/20 Sn or Indalloy #2 is recommended. Do not expose die to a temperature greater than 300 °C for more than 10 seconds. Cleanliness These chips should be handled in a clean environment. Do not attempt to clean die after installation. Electrical Conductive Expoxy Die Attach Assembly can be preheated to approximately 125 °C. Use a controlled thickness of approximately 2 mils for best conductivity and lower thermal resistance. Cure epoxy as per manufacturer’s schedule. For extended cure times, temperatures should be kept below 150 °C Static Sensitivity Proper ESD techniques should be used when handling these devices. General Handling The protective polymer coating on the active areas of these die provides scratch and impact protection, particularly for the metal airbridge which contacts the diode’s anode. Die should primarily be handled with vacuum pickups, or alternatively with plastic tweezers. Ribbon/Wire Bonding Wedge thermocompression bonding may be used to attach ribbons to the bonding pads. Gold ribbons should be ½ x 3 mil sq. for all RF ports (J1-J6) for lowest inductance. Ribbon or Wire bonding is recommended for a1l DC ports, (B1-B5). Use either ½ x 3 mil sq. gold ribbon or 1 mil dia. gold wire. Mounting Techniques These GaAs devices are designed to be mounted with electrically conductive silver epoxy or with a lower temperature solder preform. 3 M/A-COM Inc. and its affiliates reserve the right to make changes to the product(s) or information contained herein without notice.
