MASW-001100-1190
Description
The MASW-001100, MASW-002100 and
MASW-003100 are broadband monolithic switches using
series and shunt connected silicon PIN diodes. They
are designed for use as moderate signal, high
performance switches in applications up to 26.5GHz.
They provide performance levels superior to those
realized by hybrid MIC designs incorporating beam lead
and PIN chip diodes that require chip and wire
assembly.
MASW-002100-1191
These switches are fabricated using M/A-COM’s
patented HMICTM (Heterolithic Microwave Integrated
Circuit) process, US Patent 5,268,310. This process
allows the incorporation of silicon pedestals that form
series and shunt diodes or vias by imbedding them in
low loss, low dispersion glass. By using small spacing
between elements, this combination of silicon and glass
gives HMIC devices low loss and high isolation
performance through low millimeter frequencies.
MASW-003100-1192
Large bond pads facilitate the use of low inductance
ribbon leads, while gold backside metallization allows for
manual or automatic chip bonding via 80/20 AuSn solder
or conductive Ag epoxy.

MASW-001100-1190 and Bias Connections1
Operation of the MASW Series Switches
Operation of the MASW series of PIN Switches is
achieved by simultaneous application of negative DC
current to the low loss switching arm J1, J2, or J3, and
positive DC current to the remaining switching arms as
shown in the Bias Connection circuits. DC return is
achieved via J1. The control currents should be supplied
by constant current sources. The voltages at these points
will not exceed +1.5 volts (1.2 volts typical) at currents up
to + 20mA. In the Low Loss state, the series diode must be
forward biased and the shunt diode reverse biased. In the
isolated arm, the shunt diode is forward biased and the
series diode is reverse biased.

Handling Considerations
Cleanliness: These chips should be handled in a clean
environment.
Do not attempt to clean chips after
installation.
Electro-Static Sensitivity:
The MASW Series PIN
switches are ESD, Class 1A sensitive (HBM). The proper
ESD handling procedures should be used.

Wire Bonding
Thermosonic wedge wire bonding using 0.003” x 0.00025” ribbon or 0.001” diameter gold wire is recommended.
A stage temperature of 150oC and a force of 18 to 22 grams should be used. Ultrasonic energy should be
adjusted to the minimum required to achieve a good bond. RF bond wires should be kept as short as possible.
Mounting
The HMIC switches have TiPtAu back metal. They can be die mounted with a gold-tin eutectic solder preform or
conductive epoxy. 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 255oC and a tool tip temperature of 265oC. When hot gas is applied, the tool tip temperature
should be 290oC. The chip should not be exposed to temperatures greater than 320oC for more than 20
seconds. No more than three seconds should be required for attachment. Solders containing tin should not be
used.
Epoxy Die Attachment: Surface of assembly should be preheated to 125-150oC. 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.
