APPLICATION INFORMATION (CAUTION: THIS IS AN ESD SENSITIVE DEVICE)

Chip carrier should match GaAs thermal coefficienat of expansion and have high thermal conductivity, such as copper

tungsten or copper molybdenum. The chip carrier should be nickel-gold plated and capable of withstanding 325ºC for 20

minutes.

Die attach should be done with Gold/Tin (80/20) eutectic alloy in inert ambient gas. The backside is used as heatsinking,

DC, and RF contacts.

All die attach and wire bond equipment, especially the tools which touch a die, should be well grounded to avoid accidental

discharge through a die.
