Handling and Assembly Information

CAUTION! - Mimix Broadband MMIC Products contain gallium arsenide (GaAs) which can be hazardous to the human body

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 0.100 mm (0.004") thick. 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

epoxies are Tanaka TS3332LD, Die Mat DM6030HK or DM6030HK-Pt 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.

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 Gold 0.025 mm (0.001") diameter ball bonds. 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.
