DESCRIPTION
The TC1401 is a GaAs Pseudomorphic High Electron Mobility Transistor (PHEMT) which has high linearity and
high Power Added Efficiency. The device is with via-hole processes to reduce the thermal resistance and
grounding inductance. The short gate length enables the device to be used in a circuit up to 20GHz. All devices
are 100% DC tested to assure consistent quality. Backside gold plating is compatible with standard AuSn
die-attach.

CHIP HANDLING
DIE ATTACHMENT: Conductive epoxy or eutectic die attach is recommended. Eutectic die attach can be
accomplished with Au-Sn (80%Au-20%Sn) perform at stage temperature: 290°C ± 5°C; Handling Tool: Tweezers;
Time: less than 1min.
WIRE BONDING: The recommended wire bond method is thermocompression bonding with 0.7 to 1.0 mil
(0.018 to 0.025 mm) gold wire. Stage temperature: 220°C to 250°C; Bond Tip Temperature: 150°C; Bond Force:
20 to 30 gms depending on size of wire and Bond Tip Temperature.
HANDLING PRECAUTIONS: The user must operate in a clean, dry environment. Care should be exercised
during handling avoid damage to the devices. Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) precautions should be observed at all
stages of storage, handling, assembly, and testing. The static discharge must be less than 300V.
