MA4E2508 Series SURMOUNTTM Low, Medium, & High Barrier Silicon Schottky Diodes: Anti-Parallel Pair Features M/A-COM Products Rev. V3 Case Style 1112 • Extremely Low Parasitic Capitance & Inductance • Surface Mountable in Microwave Circuits, No Wirebonds Required • Rugged HMIC Construction with polyimide Scratch Protection • Reliable, Multilayer Metalization with a Diffusion Barrier, 100 % Stabilization Bake (300°C, 16 hours) • Lower Susceptibility to ESD Damage A B Description The MA4E2508 SURMOUNTTM Anti-Parallel Diode Series are Silicon Low, Medium, & High Barrier Schottky Devices fabricated with the patented Heterolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit (HMIC) process. HMIC circuits consist of Silicon pedestals which form diodes or via conductors embedded in a glass dielectric, which acts as the low dispersion, low loss, microstrip transmission medium. The combination of silicon and glass allows HMIC devices to have excellent loss and power dissipation characteristics in a low profile, reliable device. The Surmount Schottky devices are excellent choices for circuits requiring the small parasitics of a beam lead device coupled with the superior mechanical performance of a chip. The SurMount structure employs very low resistance silicon vias to connect the Schottky contacts to the metalized mounting pads on the bottom surface of the chip. These devices are reliable, repeatable, and a lower cost performance solution to conventional devices. They have lower susceptibility to electrostatic discharge than conventional beam lead Schottky diodes. C D E D Case Style 1112 DIM INCHES MILLIMETERS MIN. MAX. MIN. MAX.

Incident Power +20 dBm Handling RF & DC Dissipated Power 50 mW 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. The top surface of the die has a protective polyimide coating to minimize the damage. Electrostatic Discharge 2 ( ESD ) Classification The MA4E2508 Family of Surmount Schottky diodes are recommended for use in microwave circuits through Ku band frequencies for lower power applications such as mixers, sub-harmonic mixers, detectors and limiters. The HMIC construction facilitates the direct replacement of more fragile beam lead diodes with the corresponding Surmount diode, which can be connected to a hard or soft substrate circuit with solder. The rugged construction of these Surmount devices allows the use of standard handling and die attach techniques. It is important to note that industry standard electrostatic discharge (ESD) control is required at all times, due to the sensitive nature of Schottky junctions. Bulk handling should insure that abrasion and mechanical shock are minimized. Die Bonding Die attach for these devices is made simple through the use of surface mount die attach technology. Mounting pads are conveniently located on the bottom surface of these devices, and are opposite the active junction. The devices are well suited for higher temperature solder attachment onto hard substrates. 80Au/20Sn and Sn63/Pb37 solders are acceptable for usage. 1. Class 0 Exceeding any of these values may cause permanent damage. 2. Human Body Model Die Bonding For hard substrates, we recommend utilizing a vacuum tip and force of 60 to 100 grams applied uniformly to the top surface of the device, using a hot gas bonder with equal heat applied across the bottom mounting pads of the device. When soldering to soft substrates, it is recommended to use a lead-tin interface at the circuit board mounting pads. Position the die so that its mounting pads are aligned with the circuit board mounting pads. Reflow the solder paste by applying equal heat to the circuit at both die-mounting pads. The solder joint must not be made one at a time, creating un-equal heat flow and thermal stress. Solder reflow should not be performed by causing heat to flow through the top surface of the die. Since the HMIC glass is transparent, the edges of the mounting pads can be visually inspected through the die after die attach is completed. 2 ADVANCED: Data Sheets contain information regarding a product M/A-COM is considering for development.
