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
Assembly Process Notes
GaAs MMIC devices are susceptible to damage from Electrostatic Discharge. Proper precautions should
be observed during handling, assembly and test.

specifications. Specifications are subject to change without notice.
