Description
These silicon - glass PIN diode chips are fabricated with
M/A-COM’s patented HMIC™ process. They contain a single
shunt silicon PIN diode embedded in a glass substrate with dual
75 x 150 micron bond pads located near the chip edges. The large
pads allow use of multiple bond wires. The location of these pads
on a glass substrate results in low parasitic capacitance. The
diode junction is passivated with silicon nitride and a layer of
polyimide has been added for scratch protection during assembly.
The devices are available on industry standard tape frame for
automatic insertion and assembly in high volume applications.
Applications
These diodes are designed for use as general PIN elements in
switches and switched pad attenuators. The chips can handle up
to 10 watts of RF power, and are well suited for use in T/R
switches for subscriber phones, particularly the higher power and
higher frequency systems for satellite based systems. They are
also useful for the switching element in phased array radar applications. The larger bond pad allows for two (2) 1 mil dia contact
wires which reduces the bond wire inductance almost in half.

Hanlding and Mounting Information
Chip Outline Drawing (ODS-1244)
Handling
All semiconductor dice should be handled with care to avoid
damage or contamination. For an individual die, the use of
plastic tipped tweezers or vacuum pick-up tool is recommended.
When using automatic pick and place, abrasion and mechanical
shock should be minimized.
Mounting
The dice have Ti-Pt-Au back metal, with a final gold thickness
of 0.1 micron. They can be die mounted with a gold-tin eutectic
solder preform or conductive epoxy. The mounting surface
must be clean and flat.
Eutectic Die Attachment
An 80/20 gold-tin eutectic solder preform is recommended with
a work surface temperature of 255°C and a tool tip temperature
of 265°C. When hot gas is applied, the tool tip temperature
should be 290°C. The chip should not be exposed to temperatures greater than 320°C for more than 20 seconds. No more
than three seconds should be required for attachment.
Epoxy Die Attachment
A minimum amount of epoxy should be used. A thin epoxy
fillet should be visible around the perimeter of the chip after
placement. Cure epoxy per manufacturer’s schedule.
Wire Bonding
The two bond pads on these die have a Ti-Pt-Au metalization
scheme, with a final gold thickness of 2.5 microns. The pads are
75 x 150 microns; up to two wires or a 100 micron wide ribbon
can be bonded to each pad. Thermosonic wedge wire bonding of
0.001” diameter gold wire is recommended with a stage temperature of 150°C and a force of 25 to 40 grams. Ultrasonic energy
should be adjusted to the minimum required.
