Clean the module with Acetone. Rinse with alcohol and DI water. Allow the module to fully dry. 2. To improve the thermal and RF performance, TriQuint recommends attaching a heatsink to the bottom of the package. If the TGA4905 is mounted to the heatsink with mounting screws, an indium shim or other compliant material should be inserted between the TGA4905 and the heatsink to reduce thermal contact resistance due to air gaps. The TGA4905 may also be mounted with DieMat DM6030HK conductive epoxy or an equivalent high thermal conductivity epoxy. 3. The DC and RF interconnects may be gold bondwires or gold ribbons. The RF interconnects should be as short as possible. A minimum of two 1 mil wires are recommended for the RF Input, RF Output, Vg, and Vd1. Six bondwires are recommended for Vd2.
