Handling Precautions
Permanent damage to the MASW6020G may occur if the following
precautions are not adhered to:
A. Cleanliness – The MASW6020G should be handled in a clean
e nv i r o n m e n t . DO NOT attempt to clean unit after the
MASW6020G is installed.
B. Static Sensitivity – All chip handling equipment and personnel
should be DC grounded.
C. Transient – Avoid instrument and power supply transients while
bias is applied to the MASW6020G. Use shielded signal and
bias cables to minimize inductive pick-up.
D. Bias – Apply voltage to either control port A/B or only when the
other is grounded. Neither port should be allowed to “float.”

E. General Handling – It is recommended that the MASW6020G
chip be handled along the long side of the die with a sharp pair
of bent tweezers. DO NOT touch the surface of the chip with
fingers or tweezers.
Mounting
The MASW6020G is back - m e t a l l i zed with Pd/Ni/Au (100/1,000/
30,000Å) metallization. It can be die-mounted with AuSn eutectic
preforms or with thermally conductive epoxy. The package surface
should be clean and flat before attachment.
Eutectic Die Attach:
A. A 80/20 gold/tin preform is recommended with a work surface
temperature of approximately 255°C and a tool temperature of
265°C. When hot 90/10 nitrogen/hydrogen gas is applied, tool
tip temperature should be approximately 290°C.
B. DO NOT expose the MASW6020G to a temperature greater
than 320°C for more than 20 seconds.No more than 3 seconds
of scrubbing should be required for attachment.
Epoxy Die Attach:
A. Electrically conductive epoxy must be used.
B. Apply a minimum amount of epoxy and place the MASW6020G
into position. A thin epoxy fillet should be visible around the
perimeter of the chip.

Bond Pad Layout
C. Cure epoxy per manufacturer's recommended schedule.
Wire Bonding
A. Ball or wedge bond with 1.0 mil diameter pure gold wire.T h e rm o -
sonic wirebonding with a nominal stage temperature of 150°C
and a ball bonding force of 40 to 50 grams or wedge bonding
force of 18 to 22 grams is recommended.U l t rasonic energy and
time should be adjusted to the minimum levels to achieve reliabl e
w i r e b o n d s.
B. Wirebonds should be started on the chip and terminated on the
p a ck a g e.
