BCF060T HIGH EFFICIENCY HETEROJUNCTION POWER FET CHIP (.3 µm x 600 µm) The BeRex BCF060T is a GaAs Power MESFET whose nominal 0.3 micron gate length and 600 micron gate width make the product ideally suited to applications requiring high OIP3 linearity and low phase noise while providing high-gain and medium power from DC to 26.5 GHz. This product is well suited for either wideband or narrow-band applications. The BCF060T is produced using state of the art metallization and devices from each wafer are screened to insure reliability. These chips utilize SI3N4 passivation for increased reliability.

The die attach station must have accurate temperature control, and the operation should be performed with parts no hotter than 300°C for less than 10 seconds. An inert forming gas (90% N2-10% H2) or clean, dry N2 should be used. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS: GaAs FETs are very sensitive to and may be damaged by Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). Therefore, proper ESD precautions must be taken whenever you are handling these devices. It is critically important that all work surfaces, and assembly equipment, as well as the operator be properly grounded when handling these devices to prevent ESD damage. STORAGE & SHIPPING: BeRex’s standard chip device shipping package consists of an antistatic “Gel-Pak”, holding the chips, placed inside a sealed antistatic and moisture barrier bag. This packaging is designed to provide a reasonable measure of protection from both mechanical and ESD damage. Chip devices should be stored in a clean, dry Nitrogen gas environment at room temperature until they are required for assembly. Only open the shipping package or perform die assembly in a work area with a class 10,000 or better clean room environment to prevent contamination of the exposed devices.
