The CHA7012 chip is a monolithic two-stage
GaAs high power amplifier designed for X band
applications.
This device is manufactured using a GaInP
HBT process, including, via holes through the
substrate and air bridge. A nitride layer protects
the transistors and the passive components.
Special
heat
removal
techniques
are
implemented to guarantee high reliability.
To simplify the assembly process:
-the backside of the chip is both RF and DC
grounded
-bond pads and back side are gold plated for
compatibility with eutectic die attach method
and thermosonic or thermo compression
bonding process.
