Description
The MZB600 zero bias detector (ZBD) diode is a
sensitive, very low barrier height Schottky diode
designed for use in high frequency, low input power
detectors. Its very low barrier height results in
excellent sensitivity to very small signals without the
need for external bias current. This diode is available
as a five-junction common-anode chip, as a singlejunction beam lead or packaged in one of several
suitable packages. It is manufactured using a proven
diode fabrication process which optimizes diode
characteristics for optimal electrical performance and
excellent reliability.
The low junction capacitance (0.2 pF typical) enables
the device to be used in sensitive detector circuits
with input signals up to 20 GHz.
This rugged device is capable of reliable operation in
all military, commercial and industrial applications.

ESD & Moisture Sensitivity Level Rating
These electronic devices are sensitive to
electrostatic discharge (ESD) and can be damaged
by static electricity. Proper ESD prevention
procedures should be followed. The ESD rating for
this device is Class 0 (HBM).
Assembly Instructions
Die attach of the common anode chip diodes may be
accomplished with eutectic solders, such as
80 Au / 20 Sn, or conductive epoxy. The leads of the
beam lead device may be attached to a hybrid circuit
using thermo compression bonding or conductive
epoxy.
