Reflow process assembly notes:
•=
AuSn (80/20) solder with limited exposure to temperatures at or above 300ΓC
•=
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 cur ing should not be used because of differential heating
•=
coefficient of thermal expansion matching is critical

Interconnect proc e ss a sse mbly 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: 200ΓC
GaAs MMIC devices are susceptible to damage from Electrostatic Discharge. Proper precautions should
be observed during handling, assembly and test.
