microstrip package. This device is
designed for use in general
purpose amplifier and oscillator
applications in the 0.5-10 GHz
frequency range.
This GaAs FET device has a
nominal 0.3 micron gate length
using airbridge interconnects
between drain fingers. Total gate
periphery is 500 microns. Proven
gold based metallization systems
and nitride passivation assure a
rugged, reliable device.

4. Storage above +150°C may tarnish
the leads of this package difficult to
solder into a circuit. After a device
has been soldered into a circuit, it
may be safely stored up to 175°C.
5. The small spot size of this technique results in a higher, though
more accurate determination of θ
than do alternate methods. See
MEASUREMENTS section for
more information.
