Description and Applications
M/A-COM's MADS-001317-1500 single is a gal-
lium arsenide flip chip Schottky barrier diode.
This device is fabricated on OMCVD epitaxial
material using a process designed for high de-
vice uniformity and extremely low parasitics.
This diode is fully passivated with silicon nitride
and has an additional layer of polyimide for
scratch protection. The protective coating pre-
vents damage to the junction during automated
or manual handling. The flip chip configuration
is suitable for pick and place insertion. This de-
vice with can be attached with solder or conduc-
tive epoxy. The high cutoff frequency of this
diode allows use through millimeter wave fre-
quencies. Typical applications include single
and double balanced mixers in PCN transceiv-
ers and radios, police radar detectors, and auto-
motive radar detectors. This diode can be used
through 80 GHz.

Mounting Techniques
Die attach for these devices is made simple through the use of surface mount die attach techno logy.
This chip was designed to be inserted onto hard or soft substrates with the junction side down. This chip can be
mounted with conductive epoxy or with solder.
Solder Die Attach:
This device can be mounted with Sn63/Pb37 or RoHS compliant solder.
Typical reflow profiles are provided on M/A-Com application note M538, “ Surface Mounting Instructions”
which can be found @ www.macomtech.com
Epoxy Die Attach:
This device can also be attached with condu ctive epoxy. The assembly can be preheated to 125 - 15 C.
Use a minimum amount of epoxy. Cure epoxy as per manufacturer’ s instructions.
Handling Procedures
The following precautions sho uld be observed to avoid damaging these chips:
Cleanliness: The chips should be handled in a clea n environment.
Do not attempt to clean die after installation.
Static Sensitivity: Schottky barrier diodes are ESD sensitive and can be damaged by static
electricity. Proper ESD techniques should be used when handling these devices.
General Handling: The protective polymer coating on the active areas of these die provides scratch
protection, particularly for the metal air bridge which conta cts the anode. Die can
be handled with tweezers or vacuum pickups and ar e suitable for use with
automatic pick-and-place equipment.
