dB with a +30.0 dBm P1dB output compression point.
This MMIC uses Mimix Broadband’s GaAs PHEMT
device model technology, and is based upon electron
beam lithography to ensure high repeatability and
uniformity. The chip has surface passivation to protect
and provide a rugged part with backside via holes
and gold metallization to allow either a conductive
epoxy or eutectic solder die attach process. This
device is well suited for Test Instrumentation, Military,
Space, Microwave Point-to-Point Radio, SATCOM and
VSAT applications.

September 2009 - Rev 14-Sep-09
App Note [1] Biasing - As shown in the bonding diagram, this device operates
using a self-biased architecture and only requires one drain bias. Bias is nominally
Vd=12V, Id=690 mA. For additional assistance in setting current via source resistor,
see source resistance table below.
App Note [2] Bias Arrangement - Each DC pad (Vd) needs to have DC bypass
capacitance (~100-200 pF) as close to the device as possible. Additional DC
bypass capacitance (~0.01 uF) is also recommended. Additionally, to achieve the
required broadband decoupling network a high-Q Drain bias inductor with
high-Q bypass capacitor is needed. The proper network is necessary in order to
bring Drain bias into the device with minimal impact on RF performance. The high-Q
inductor is typically an air coil that can be purchased from an air coil manufacturer
(Microwave Components or Piconics for example). The air coil needs to have minimum current handling capability, thus planned operating
current needs to be defined and considered before defining actual air coil to be used. Mimix recommends 1.4 mil diameter gold wire and 4 turns
as a starting point and may need to be optimized based on the actual application. Self-resonance of the bias inductor causes degradation in
performance at both the low and high ends of the band. The self resonance is sensitive to spacing between turns and number of turns used. For
example, the more turns in the Drain bias inductor the lower the self-resonant frequency of the inductor creating high end RF performance
degradation. The opposite is true for a smaller number of turns. In terms of coil attachment to MMIC device (wedge bond tool method), cut coil
leads to desired length, use tweezers or wedge bond tip (press on wire to pick up) to place coil for bonding. Make first bond on MMIC die bond
pad using wedge bonder tool. Move coil lead as necessary and make second and final bond to bypass capacitor with wedge bond tool using
same method as first bond.
Current Select - At times the need to balance performance against system
power budgets forces a trade off between bias current, gain, P1dB, or other
parameters. This note includes information on how to use the built-in binary
bias ladder to adjust the currents enabling this trade off. The bias is controlled
by the self bias resistor network in the bottom right corner of the die. These
resistors have binary relative values so that you can step the current from a
minimum to a maximum with multiple different bias options available along
the way. The infinity option is not useful as there is no current flow with all
resistors open. Using the information from the current select table shown here
allows the user to set the resistors adjusting the current up or down from a
nominal value. In addition, the table can be used to estimate how to make a
change with minimum trial and error. The net result is that the current can be
adjusted over a wide range with incremental control.

Bonding Substrate - If you are concerned about dialing in the exact current or
making fine adjustments to the bias point it is recommended that a bonding
substrate, like the one shown here, be used. The purpose is to allow the chip to
substrate wire bonds to be left intact and not to be used for adjustments. The
bond wires that go from the substrate to ground are then added or subtracted
to tune the bias as necessary.
App Note [3] Material Stack-Up – In addition to the practical aspects of bias and
bias arrangement, device base material stack-up also must be considered for best
thermal performance. A well thought out thermal path solution will improve overall
device reliability, RF performance and power added efficiency. The photo shows a
typical high power amplifier carrier assembly. The material stack-up for this carrier
is shown below. This stack-up is highly recommended for most reliable performance
however, other materials (i.e. eutectic solder vs epoxy, copper tungsten/copper
moly rib, etc.) can be considered/possibly used but only after careful review of material thermal properties, material availability and end
application performance requirements.

These numbers were calculated based upon accelerated life test information received from the fabricating foundry and extensive thermal modeling/
finite element analysis done at Mimix Broadband. The values shown here are only to be used as a guideline against the end application requirements
and only represent reliability information under one bias condition. Ultimately bias conditions and resulting power dissipation along with the
practical aspects, i.e. thermal material stack-up, attach method of die placement are the key parts in determining overall reliability for a specific
application, see previous pages. If the data shown below does not meet your reliability requirements or if the bias conditions are not within your

and the environment. For safety, observe the following procedures:
• Do not ingest.
• Do not alter the form of this product into a gas, powder, or liquid through burning, crushing, or chemical
processing as these by-products are dangerous to the human body if inhaled, ingested, or swallowed.
• Observe government laws and company regulations when discarding this product. This product must be
discarded in accordance with methods specified by applicable hazardous waste procedures.
Life Support Policy - Mimix Broadband's products are not authorized for use as critical components in life support devices or
systems without the express written approval of the President and General Counsel of Mimix Broadband. As used herein: (1)
Life support devices or systems are devices or systems which, (a) are intended for surgical implant into the body, or (b)
support or sustain life, and whose failure to perform when properly used in accordance with instructions for use provided in
the labeling, can be reasonably expected to result in a significant injury to the user. (2) A critical component is any component
of a life support device or system whose failure to perform can be reasonably expected to cause the failure of the life support
device or system, or to affect its safety or effectiveness.
ESD - Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) devices are susceptible to electrostatic and mechanical damage. Die are supplied in antistatic
containers, which should be opened in cleanroom conditions at an appropriately grounded anti-static workstation. Devices
need careful handling using correctly designed collets, vacuum pickups or, with care, sharp tweezers.
Die Attachment - GaAs Products from Mimix Broadband are 0.075 mm (0.003") thick and have vias through to the backside to
enable grounding to the circuit. Microstrip substrates should be brought as close to the die as possible. The mounting surface
should be clean and flat. If using conductive epoxy, recommended epoxy is Die Mat DM6030HK or an epoxy with >52 W/m ºK
thermal conductivity cured in a nitrogen atmosphere per manufacturer's cure schedule. Apply epoxy sparingly to avoid
getting any on to the top surface of the die. An epoxy fillet should be visible around the total die periphery. For additional
information please see the Mimix "Epoxy Specifications for Bare Die" application note. If eutectic mounting is preferred, then a
fluxless gold-tin (AuSn) preform, approximately 0.001 thick, placed between the die and the attachment surface should be
used. A die bonder that utilizes a heated collet and provides scrubbing action to ensure total wetting to prevent void
formation in a nitrogen atmosphere is recommended. The gold-tin eutectic (80% Au 20% Sn) has a melting point of
approximately 280 ºC (Note: Gold Germanium should be avoided). The work station temperature should be 310 ºC +/- 10 ºC.
Exposure to these extreme temperatures should be kept to minimum. The collet should be heated, and the die pre-heated to
avoid excessive thermal shock. Avoidance of air bridges and force impact are critical during placement.
Wire Bonding - Windows in the surface passivation above the bond pads are provided to allow wire bonding to the die's gold
bond pads. The recommended wire bonding procedure uses 0.076 mm x 0.013 mm (0.003" x 0.0005") 99.99% pure gold ribbon
with 0.5-2% elongation to minimize RF port bond inductance. Gold 0.025 mm (0.001") diameter wedge or ball bonds are
acceptable for DC Bias connections. Aluminum wire should be avoided. Thermo-compression bonding is recommended
though thermosonic bonding may be used providing the ultrasonic content of the bond is minimized. Bond force, time and
ultrasonics are all critical parameters. Bonds should be made from the bond pads on the die to the package or substrate. All
bonds should be as short as possible.
