Epoxy die attach is not recommended. BONDING Gate and drain bonding wires should be minimum length, semihard fold wire (3-8% elongation) 30 microns or less in diameter. The source should be connected with gold ribbon or mesh. Bonding should be performed with a wedge tip that has a taper of approximately 15°. Die attach and bonding time should be kept to a minimum. As a general rule, the bonding operation should be kept within a 300°C - 10 minute curve. If longer periods are required, the temperature should be lowered. PRECAUTIONS The user must operate in a clean, dry environment. The chip channel is glassivated for mechanical protection only and does not preclude the necessity of a clean environment. The bonding equipment should be periodically checked for sources of surge voltage and should be properly grounded at all times. All test and handling equipment should be grounded to minimize the possibilities of static discharge.
