HMC981 v00.0611 ACTIVE BIAS CONTROLLERMounting & Bonding Techniques for MMICs The die should be attached directly to the ground plane with epoxy (see HMC general Handling, Mounting , Bonding Note). Handling Precautions Follow these precautions to avoid permanent damage. Storage: All bare die are placed in either Waffle or Gel based ESD protective containers, and then sealed in an ESD protective IP bag for shipment. Once the sealed ESD protective bag has been opened, all die should be stored in a dry nitrogen environment. H Cleanliness: Handle the chips in a clean environment. DO NOT attempt to clean the chip using liquid cleaning systems. Static Sensitivity: Follow ESD precautions to protect against ESD strikes. Transients: Suppress instrument and bias supply transients while bias is applied. Use shielded signal and bias cables to minimize S - C inductive pick-up. R General Handling: The chip may be handled by a vacuum collet or with a sharp pair of tweezers. Mounting LLE Epoxy Die Attach: Apply a minimum amount of epoxy to the mounting surface so that a thin epoxy fillet is observed around the O perimeter of the chip once it is placed into position. Cure epoxy per the manufacturer’s schedule.
