V4 Chip Dimensions MA4AGP907 and MA4AGFCP910 Low Series Resistance Ultra Low Capacitance Millimeter Wave Switching & Cutoff Frequency 2 Nanosecond Switching Speed Can be Driven by a Buffered TTL Silicon Nitride Passivation Polyimide Scratch Protection RoHS Compliant Description M/A-COM's MA4AGP907 and MA4AGFCP910 are Aluminum Gallium Arsenide (AlGaAs) flip-chip PIN diodes. These devices are fabricated on OMCVD epitaxial wafers using a process designed for high device uniformity and extremely low parasitics. The diodes exhibit an extremely low RC product, (0.1ps) and 2-3nS switching characteristics. They are fully passivated with silicon nitride and have an added polymer layer for scratch protection. The protective coating prevents damage to the junction and the anode air-bridge during handling and assembly. Applications The ultra low capacitance of the MA4AGP907 and MA4AGFCP910 allows their use through millimeter frequencies for RF switches and switched phase shifter applications. The diodes are designed for use in pulsed or CW applications, where single digit nS switching speed is required. For surface mount assembly, the low capacitance of these switches make them ideal for use in microwave multi-throw switch assemblies, where the series capacitance of each “off” port adversely loads the input and affects VSWR.

MA4AGP907 MA4AGFCP910 AlGaAs Flip Chip PIN Diodes RoHS Compliant Rev. V4 Device Installation Guidelines Cleanliness These devices should be handled in a clean environment. The chips are resistant to solvents and may cleaned using approved industry standard practices. Static Sensitivity Aluminum Gallium Arsenide PIN diodes are ESD sensitive and can be damaged by static electricity. Proper ESD techniques should be used when handling these devices. These devices are rated Class 0, ( 0-199V ) per HBM MIL-STD-883, method 3015.7 [C = 100pF ±10%, R = 1.5kW ±1%]. Even though tested die pass 50V ESD, they must be handled in a static-free environment. General Handling The devices have a polymer layer which provides scratch protection for the junction area and the anode air bridge. Die can be handled with plastic tweezers or picked and placed with a #27 tip vacuum pencil. Assembly Requirements using Electrically Conductive Silver Epoxy and Solder These chips are designed to be inserted onto hard or soft substrates with the junction side down. They should be mounted onto silk-screened circuits using electrically conductive silver epoxy, approximately 1-2 mils in thickness and cured at approximately 90°C to 150°C per manufacturer’s schedule. For extended cure times, > 30 minutes, temperatures must be below 200°C. Eutectic Die Attached Tin rich solders ( >30% Sn by weight ) are not recommended as they will scavenge the gold on the contact Pads exposing the tungsten metallization beneath and creating a poor solder connection. Indalloy or 80/20, Au/Sn type solders are acceptable. Maximum soldering temperature must be kept below 280°C for less than 10 seconds. Note: The MA4AGSBP907 which is a solder bumped version of the MA4AGP907, is also available.
