Reflow process assembly notes:
= AuSn (80/20) solder with limited exposure to temperatures at or above 300C
= alloy station or conveyor furnace with reducing atmosphere
= no fluxes should be utilized
= coefficient of thermal expansion matching is critical for long-term reliability
= storage in dry nitrogen atmosphere
Component placement and adhesive attachment assembly notes:
= vacuum pencils and/or vacuum collets preferred method of pick up
= avoidance of air bridges during placement
= force impact critical during auto placement
= organic attachment can be used in low-power applications
= curing should be done in a convection oven; proper exhaust is a safety concern
= microwave or radiant curing should not be used because of differential heating
= coefficient of thermal expansion matching is critical
Interconnect process assembly notes:
= thermosonic ball bonding is the preferred interconnect technique
= force, time, and ultrasonics are critical parameters
= aluminum wire should not be used
= discrete FET devices with small pad sizes should be bonded with 0.0007-inch wire
= maximum stage temperature: 200C
GaAs MMIC devices are susceptible to damage from Electrostatic Discharge. Proper precautions should
be observed during handling, assembly and test.
