Handling Precautions
Permanent damage to the MASW20000 may occur if the following precautions are not adhered to:
A. Cleanliness — The MASW20000 should be handled in a clean
environment. DO NOT attempt to clean unit after the
MASW20000 is installed.
B. Static Sensitivity — All chip handling equipment and personnel
should be DC grounded.
C. Transient — Avoid instrument and power supply transients
while bias is applied to the MASW20000. Use shielded signal
and bias cables to minimize inductive pick-up.
D. Bias —Apply voltage to either control port A1/B2 or A2/B1
only when the other is grounded. Neither port should be
allowed to ”float”.
E. General Handling — It is recommended that the MASW20000
chip be handled along the long side of the die with a sharp
pair of bent tweezers. DO NOT touch the surface of the chip
with fingers or tweezers.

Mounting
The MASW20000 is back-metallized with Pd/Ni/Au (100/1,000/
30,000Å) metallization. It can be die-mounted with AuSn eutectic
preforms or with thermally conductive epoxy. The package surface should be clean and flat before attachment.
Eutectic Die Attach:
A. A 80/20 gold/tin preform is recommended with a work surface
temperature of approximately 255°C and a tool temperature of
265°C. When hot 90/10 nitrogen/hydrogen gas is applied, tool
tip temperature should be approximately 290°C.
B. DO NOT expose the MASW2000 to a temperature greater
than 320°C for more than 20 seconds. No more than 3
seconds of scrubbing should be required for attachment.

Epoxy Die Attach:
A. Apply a minimum amount of epoxy and place the
MASW20000 into position. A thin epoxy fillet should be visible
around the perimeter of the chip.
B. Cure epoxy per manufacturer’s recommended schedule.

C. Electrically conductive epoxy may be used but is not required.
Wire Bonding
A. Ball or wedge bond with 1.0 mil diameter pure gold wire. Gold
ribbon (3.0 mil X 0.5 mil) may also be used.Thermosonic wire
bonding with a nominal stage temperature of 150°C and a ball
bonding force of 40 to 50 grams or wedge bonding force of 18
to 22 grams is recommended. Ultrasonic energy and time
should be adjusted to the minimum levels to achieve reliable
wirebonds.
B. Wirebonds should be started on the chip and terminated on
the package.
