BCP040T

BCP040T
HIGH EFFICIENCY HETEROJUNCTION POWER FET CHIP (.25µm x 400µm)
The BeRex BCP040T is a GaAs Power pHEMT with a nominal 0.25 micron gate length and 400 micron gate width
making the product ideally suited for applications requiring high-gain and medium power from DC to 26 GHz. The
product may be used in either wideband or narrow-band applications. The BCP040T is produced using state of the
art metallization with SI3N4 passivation and is screened to assure reliability

WIRE BONDING INFORMATION
Follow the wire bonding diagrams recommended by BeRex below to achieve optimum device performance. BeRex
recommends thermo-compression wedge bonding. As a general rule, bonding temperature should be kept to a
maximum of 280°C for no longer than 2 minutes for all bonding wires. Ultrasonic bonding is not recommended.
Bonding Wire information
1. Gate to input transmission line
- Length and Height : 400 um and 250 um
- Number of wire : 1 wire
2. Drain to output transmission line
- Length and Height : 350 um and 250 um
- Number of wire : 1 wire
3. Source to ground plate
- Length and Height : 200 um and 250 um
- Number of wire : 4 wires
※ The diameter of bonding wires : 1 mil
DIE ATTACH RECOMMENDATIONS:
BeRex recommends the “Eutectic” die attach using Au-Sn (80%-20%) pre-forms. 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.
