Assembly Process Notes

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 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: 200ΓC

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