The Accu-L®series of inductors are ideally suited for applications
requiring an extremely high Q and high current capability.
The CP0402/CP0603/CP0805 series of Directional Couplers cover
the frequency range of 800 MHz to 6 GHz. They feature low inser-
tion loss, high directivity and highly accurate coupling factors.
The LP0805 series of Low Pass Filters provide a rugged component
in a small 0805 size package with excellent high frequency perfor-
mance.
Another major series of microwave capacitors consists of both
multilayer porcelain and ceramic capacitors for frequencies from
10 MHz to 4.2 GHz (AQ11 - 14 Series). Three sizes of specially
designed ultra-low ESR C0G (NP0) capacitors are covered for

Accu-F®/ Accu-P®
Thin-Film Technology
THE IDEAL CAPACITOR
The non-ideal characteristics of a real capacitor can be
ignored at low frequencies. Physical size imparts inductance
to the capacitor and dielectric and metal electrodes result in
resistive losses, but these often are of negligible effect on the
circuit. At the very high frequencies of radio communication
(>100MHz) and satellite systems (>1GHz), these effects
become important. Recognizing that a real capacitor will
exhibit inductive and resistive impedances in addition to
capacitance, the ideal capacitor for these high frequencies is
an ultra low loss component which can be fully characterized
in all parameters with total repeatability from unit to unit.
Until recently, most high frequency/microwave capacitors
were based on fired-ceramic (porcelain) technology. Layers
of ceramic dielectric material and metal alloy electrode paste
are interleaved and then sintered in a high temperature oven.
This technology exhibits component variability in dielectric
quality (losses, dielectric constant and insulation resistance),
variability in electrode conductivity and variability in physical
size (affecting inductance). An alternate thin-film technology
has been developed which virtually eliminates these vari-
ances. It is this technology which has been fully incorporated
into Accu-F®and Accu-P® to provide high frequency capaci-
tors exhibiting truly ideal characteristics.
The main features of Accu-F®and Accu-P®may be summa-
rized as follows:
• High purity of electrodes for very low and repeatable
ESR.
• Highly pure, low-K dielectric for high breakdown field,
high insulation resistance and low losses to frequencies
above 40GHz.
• Very tight dimensional control for uniform inductance,
unit to unit.
• Very tight capacitance tolerances for high frequency
signal applications.
This accuracy sets apart these Thin-Film capacitors from
ceramic capacitors so that the term Accu has been
employed as the designation for this series of devices, an
abbreviation for “accurate.”
THIN-FILM TECHNOLOGY
Thin-film technology is commonly used in producing semi-
conductor devices. In the last two decades, this technology
has developed tremendously, both in performance and in
process control. Today’s techniques enable line definitions of
below 1µm, and the controlling of thickness of layers at 100Å
(10-2µm). Applying this technology to the manufacture of
capacitors has enabled the development of components
where both electrical and physical properties can be tightly
controlled.
The thin-film production facilities at AVX consist of:
• Class 1000 clean rooms, with working areas under
laminar-flow hoods of class 100, (below 100 particles
per cubic foot larger than 0.5µm).
• High vacuum metal deposition systems for high-purity
electrode construction.
• Photolithography equipment for line definition down to
2.0µm accuracy.
• Plasma-enhanced CVD for various dielectric deposi-
tions (CVD=Chemical Vapor Deposition).
• High accuracy, microprocessor-controlled dicing saws
for chip separation.
• High speed, high accuracy sorting to ensure strict
tolerance adherence.

Thin-Film Chip Capacitors
ACCU-F®TECHNOLOGY
The use of very low-loss dielectric materials, silicon dioxide
and silicon oxynitride, in conjunction with highly conductive
electrode metals results in low ESR and high Q. These
high-frequency characteristics change at a slower rate with
increasing frequency than for ceramic microwave capacitors.
Because of the thin-film technology, the above-mentioned
frequency characteristics are obtained without significant
compromise of properties required for surface mounting.
The main Accu-F®properties are:
• Internationally agreed sizes with excellent dimensional
control.
• Small size chip capacitors (0603) are available.
• Tight capacitance tolerances.
• Low ESR at VHF, UHF and microwave frequencies.
• High stability with respect to time, temperature, frequency
and voltage variation.
• Nickel/solder-coated terminations to provide excellent
solderability and leach resistance.
ACCU-F®FEATURES
Accu-F®meets the fast-growing demand for low-loss
(high-Q) capacitors for use in surface mount technology espe-
cially for the mobile communications market, such as cellular
radio of 450 and 900 MHz, UHF walkie-talkies, UHF cordless
telephones to 2.3 GHz, low noise blocks at 11-12.5 GHz and
for other VHF, UHF and microwave applications.
Accu-F®is currently unique in its ability to offer very
low capacitance values (0.1pF) and very tight capacitance
tolerances (±0.05pF). Typically Accu-F®will be used in small
signal applications in VCO’s, matching networks, filters, etc.
Inspection test and quality control procedures in accordance
with ISO 9001, CECC, IECQ and USA MIL Standards yield
products of the highest quality.

ACCU-P®TECHNOLOGY
As in the Accu-F®series the use of very low-loss dielectric
materials (silicon dioxide and silicon oxynitride) in conjunction
with highly conductive electrode metals results in low ESR and
high Q. At high frequency these characteristics change at
a slower rate with increasing frequency than conventional
ceramic microwave capacitors. Using thin-film technology, the
above-mentioned frequency characteristics are obtained with-
out significant compromise of properties required for surface
mounting. The use of high thermal conductivity materials
results in excellent RF power handling capabilities.
The main Accu-P®properties are:
• Enhanced RF power handling capability.
• Improved mechanical characteristics.
• Internationally agreed sizes with excellent dimensional control.
• Ultra Small size chip capacitors (0201) are available.
• Tight capacitance tolerances.
• Low ESR at UHF, VHF, and microwave frequencies.
• High-stability with respect to time, temperature, frequency
and voltage variation.
• High temperature nickel/solder-coated terminations as stan-
dard to provide excellent solderability and leach resistance.
ACCU-P®FEATURES
• Minimal batch to batch variability of parameters at high fre-
quency.
• The Accu-P®has the same unique features as the Accu-F®
capacitor such as low ESR, high Q, availability of very low
capacitance values and very tight capacitance tolerances.
• The RF power handling capability of the Accu-P® allows for
its usage in both small signal and RF power applications.
• Inspection, test and quality control procedures in accor-
dance with ISO 9001, CECC, IECQ and USA MIL Standards
guarantee product of the highest quality.
• Hand soldering Accu-P®: Due to their construction
utilizing relatively high thermal conductivity materials,
Accu-P’s have become the preferred device in R & D labs
and production environments where hand soldering is used.
Accu-P’s are available in all sizes and are electrically identi-
cal to their Accu-F counterparts.

Environmental / Mechanical Characteristics
QUALITY & RELIABILITY
Accu-P®is based on well established thin-film technology
and materials.
• ON-LINE PROCESS CONTROL
This program forms an integral part of the production cycle
and acts as a feedback system to regulate and control
production processes. The test procedures, which are
integrated into the production process, were developed
after long research work and are based on the highly
developed semiconductor industry test procedures and
equipment. These measures help AVX to produce a con-
sistent and high yield line of products.
• FINAL QUALITY INSPECTION
Finished parts are tested for standard electrical parameters
and visual/mechanical characteristics. Each production lot
is 100% evaluated for: capacitance and proof voltage at
2.5 UR. In addition, production is periodically evaluated for:
Average capacitance with histogram printout for
capacitance distribution;
IR and Breakdown Voltage distribution;
Temperature Coefficient;
Solderability;
Dimensional, mechanical and temperature stability.
QUALITY ASSURANCE
The reliability of these thin-film chip capacitors has been
studied intensively for several years. Various measures
have been taken to obtain the high reliability required today
by the industry. Quality assurance policy is based on well
established international industry standards. The reliability
of the capacitors is determined by accelerated testing
under the following conditions:

ADVANTAGES OF ACCU-P®
IN RF POWER CIRCUITS
The optimized design of Accu-P®offers the designer of RF
power circuits the following advantages:
• Reduced power losses due to the inherently low ESR of
Accu-P®.
• Increased power dissipation due to the high thermal
conductivity of Accu-P®.
PRACTICAL APPLICATION
IN RF POWER CIRCUITS
• There is a wide variety of different experimental methods
for measuring the power handling performance of a
capacitor in RF power circuits. Each method has its
own problems and few of them exactly reproduce the
conditions present in “real” circuit applications.
• Similarly, there is a very wide range of different circuit appli-
cations, all with their unique characteristics and operating
conditions which cannot possibly be covered by such
“theoretical” testing.
• THE ONLY TRUE TEST OF A CAPACITOR IN ANY PARTICULAR
APPLICATION IS ITS PERFORMANCE UNDER OPERATING
CONDITIONS IN THE ACTUAL CIRCUIT.
Accu-F®/ Accu-P®
Performance Characteristics RF Power Applications
RF POWER APPLICATIONS
In RF power applications capacitor losses generate heat. Two
factors of particular importance to designers are:
• Minimizing the generation of heat.
• Dissipating heat as efficiently as possible.
CAPACITOR HEATING
• The major source of heat generation in a capacitor in RF
power applications is a function of RF current (I) and ESR,
from the relationship:
Power dissipation = I2RMS x ESR
• Accu-P®capacitors are specially designed to minimize
ESR and therefore RF heating. Values of ESR for
Accu-P®capacitors are significantly less than those of
ceramic MLC components currently available.
HEAT DISSIPATION
• Heat is dissipated from a capacitor through a variety of
paths, but the key factor in the removal of heat is the
thermal conductivity of the capacitor material.
• The higher the thermal conductivity of the capacitor, the
more rapidly heat will be dissipated.
• The table below illustrates the importance of thermal
conductivity to the performance of Accu-P®in power
applications.

Accu-F®/ Accu-P®
Application Notes
GENERAL
Accu-F®and Accu-P®SMD capacitors are designed for
soldering to printed circuit boards or other substrates. The
construction of the components is such that they will with-
stand the time/temperature profiles used in both wave and
reflow soldering methods.
CIRCUIT BOARD TYPE
The circuit board types which may be used with Accu-F®and
Accu-P®are as follows:
Accu-F®: All flexible types of circuit boards
(eg. FR-4, G-10).
Accu-P®: All flexible types of circuit boards
(eg. FR-4, G-10) and also alumina.
For other circuit board materials, please consult factory.
HANDLING
SMD capacitors should be handled with care to avoid damage
or contamination from perspiration and skin oils. The use of
plastic tipped tweezers or vacuum pick-ups is strongly recom-
mended for individual components. Bulk handling should
ensure that abrasion and mechanical shock are minimized. For
automatic equipment, taped and reeled product gives the
ideal medium for direct presentation to the placement
machine.
COMPONENT PAD DESIGN
Component pads must be designed to achieve good
joints and minimize component movement during reflow
soldering. Pad designs are given below for both wave and
reflow soldering.
The basis of these designs is:
a. Pad width equal to component width. It is permissible to
decrease this to as low as 85% of component width but
it is not advisable to go below this.
b. Pad overlap 0.5mm beneath large components. Pad
overlap about 0.3mm beneath small components.
c. Pad extension of 0.5mm for reflow of large components
and pad extension about 0.3mm for reflow of small com-
ponents. Pad extension about 1.0mm for wave soldering.

Application Notes
PREHEAT & SOLDERING
The rate of preheat in production should not exceed 4°C/
second and a recommended maximum is about 2°C/second.
Temperature differential from preheat to soldering should not
exceed 100°C.
For further specific application or process advice, please consult
AVX.
COOLING
After soldering, the assembly should preferably be allowed
to cool naturally. In the event of assisted cooling, similar
conditions to those recommended for preheating should be
used.
HAND SOLDERING & REWORK
Hand soldering is permissible. Preheat of the PCB to 150°C is
required. The most preferable technique is to use hot air sol-
dering tools. Where a soldering iron is used, a temperature
controlled model not exceeding 30 watts should be used and
set to not more than 260°C.

Application Notes
HANDLING
SMD chips should be handled with care to avoid damage or
contamination from perspiration and skin oils. The use of
plastic tipped tweezers or vacuum pick-ups is strongly
recommended for individual components. Bulk handling
should ensure that abrasion and mechanical shock are min-
imized. For automatic equipment, taped and reeled product
is the ideal medium for direct presentation to the placement
machine.
CIRCUIT BOARD TYPE
All flexible types of circuit boards may be used (e.g. FR-4,
G-10) and also alumina.
For other circuit board materials, please consult factory.
COMPONENT PAD DESIGN
Component pads must be designed to achieve good joints
and minimize component movement during soldering.
Pad designs are given below for both wave and reflow
soldering.
The basis of these designs is:
a. Pad width equal to component width. It is permissible
to decrease this to as low as 85% of component width
but it is not advisable to go below this.
b. Pad overlap about 0.3mm.
c. Pad extension about 0.3mm for reflow.
Pad extension about 0.8mm for wave soldering.
PREHEAT & SOLDERING
The rate of preheat in production should not exceed
4°C/second. It is recommended not to exceed 2°C/
second.
Temperature differential from preheat to soldering should not
exceed 150°C.
For further specific application or process advice, please
consult AVX.
HAND SOLDERING & REWORK
Hand soldering is permissible. Preheat of the PCB to 100°C
is required. The most preferable technique is to use hot air
soldering tools. Where a soldering iron is used, a tempera-
ture controlled model not exceeding 30 watts should be
used and set to not more than 260°C. Maximum allowed
time at temperature is 1 minute. When hand soldering, the
base side (white side) must be soldered to the board.
COOLING
After soldering, the assembly should preferably be allowed to
cool naturally. In the event of assisted cooling, similar condi-
tions to those recommended for preheating should be used.
CLEANING RECOMMENDATIONS
Care should be taken to ensure that the devices are thor-
oughly cleaned of flux residues, especially the space beneath
the device. Such residues may otherwise become conduc-
tive and effectively offer a lossy bypass to the device. Various
recommended cleaning conditions (which must be optimized
for the flux system being used) are as follows:
Cleaning liquids . . . . . . i-propanol, ethanol, acetylace-
tone, water, and other standard
PCB cleaning liquids.
Ultrasonic conditions . . power – 20w/liter max.
frequency – 20kHz to 45kHz.
Temperature. . . . . . . . . 80°C maximum (if not otherwise
limited by chosen solvent system).
Time. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 5 minutes max.
STORAGE CONDITIONS
Recommended storage conditions for Accu-L®prior to use
are as follows:
Temperature. . . . . . . . . 15°C to 35°C
Humidity . . . . . . . . . . . ≤65%
Air Pressure . . . . . . . . . 860mbar to 1060mbar

Thin-Film Directional Couplers
CP0402 / CP0603 High Directivity Couplers Test Jigs
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
These jigs are designed for testing the CP0402 and CP0603
High Directivity Couplers using a Vector Network Analyzer.
They consist of a dielectric substrate, having 50Ωmicrostrips
as conducting lines and a bottom ground plane located at a
distance of 0.254mm (0.010") from the microstrips.
The substrate used is Neltec’s NH9338ST0254C1BC.
The connectors are SMA type (female), ‘Johnson Components
Inc.’ Product P/N: 142-0701-841.
Both a measurement jig and a calibration jig are provided.
The calibration jig is designed for a full 2-port calibration, and
consists of an open line, short line and through line. LOAD
calibration can be done by a 50ΩSMA termination.
When measuring a component, it can be either soldered or
pressed using a non-metallic stick until all four ports touch
the appropriate pads. Set the VNA to the relevant frequency
band. Connect the VNA using a 10dB attenuator on the jig
terminal connected to port 2. Follow the VNA’s instruction
manual and use the calibration jig to perform a full 2-Port
calibration in the required bandwidths.
Place the coupler on the measurement jig as follows:
Input (Coupler) ➜Connector 1 (Jig) Termination (Coupler) ➜Connector 3 (Jig)
Output (Coupler) ➜Connector 2 (Jig) Coupling (Coupler) ➜Connector 4 (Jig)
To measure I. Loss connect:
Connector 1 (Jig) ➜Port 1 (VNA) Connector 3 (Jig) ➜50Ω
Connector 2 (Jig) ➜Port 2 (VNA) Connector 4 (Jig) ➜50Ω
To measure R. Loss and Coupling connect:
Connector 1 (Jig) ➜Port 1 (VNA) Connector 3 (Jig) ➜ 50Ω
Connector 2 (Jig) ➜50ΩConnector 4 (Jig) ➜Port 2 (VNA)
To measure Isolation connect:

Thin-Film Directional Couplers
CP0805 and CP0603 Test Jig
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This jig is designed for the testing of CP0805 and CP0603
series Directional Couplers using a vector network analyzer.
It consists of a FR4 multi-layer substrate, having 50Ω
microstrips as conducting lines and a ground plane in the
middle layer, located at a distance of 0.2mm from the
microstrips.
The connectors are SMA type (female), ‘Johnson Components
Inc.’ Product P/N: 142-0701-881.
The jig is designed for a full 2-port calibration. LOAD calibration
can be done either by a 50ΩSMA termination, or by soldering
a 50Ωchip resistor at the 50Ωports.
MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE
When measuring a component, it can be either soldered or
pressed by a non-metallic stick until all four ports touch the
appropriate pads. To measure the coupling (and the R. Loss)
place the component on the Port 1 & Port 2 pads. Use two
SMA 50Ωterminations (male) to terminate the ports, which
are not connected to the network analyzer, and connect
the network analyzer to the two ports. A 90° rotation of
the component on its pads allows measuring a second
parameter (I. Loss).

These porcelain and ceramic dielectric multilayer
capacitor (MLC) chips are best suited for RF/
Microwave applications typically ranging from 10
MHz to 4.2 GHz. Characteristic is a fine grained,
high density, high purity dielectric material imper-
vious to moisture with heavy internal palladium
electrodes.
These characteristics lend well to applications
requiring:
1) high current carrying capabilities;
2) high quality factors;
3) very low equivalent series resistance;
4) very high series resonance;
5) excellent stability under stresses of
changing voltage, frequency, time
and temperature.

NOTES:
1. A0, B0, and K0are determined by the max. dimensions to the ends of the
terminals extending from the component body and/or the body dimensions of
the component. The clearance between the end of the terminals or body of the
component to the sides and depth of the cavity (A0, B0, and K0) must be within
0.05 mm (.002) min. and 0.50 mm (.020) max. The clearance allowed must also
prevent rotation of the component within the cavity of not more than 20 degrees
(see sketches C & D).
2. Tape with components shall pass around radius “R” without damage. The
minimum trailer length (Note 2 Fig. 3) may require additional length to provide R
min. for 12mm embossed tape for reels with hub diameters approaching N min.
(Table 4).
3. G1dimension is the flat area from the edge of the sprocket hole to either the
outward deformation of the carrier tape between the embossed cavities or to
the edge of the cavity whichever is less.
4. G2dimension is the flat area from the edge of the carrier tape opposite the
sprocket holes to either the outward deformation of the carrier tape between the
embossed cavity or to the edge of the cavity whichever is less.
5. The embossment hole location shall be measured from the sprocket hole
controlling the location of the embossment. Dimensions of embossment
location and hole location shall be applied independent of each other.
6. B1dimension is a reference dimension for tape feeder clearance only.

Typical Microwave Circuit Applications
Microwave MLC, SLC, or Thin-Film capacitor applications in
MIC circuits can be grouped into the following categories:
• DC Block (in series with an MIC transmission line)
• RF Bypass (in shunt with transmission lines)
• Source Bypass (in shunt with active device)
• Impedance Matching
This chapter discusses these applications and the perfor-
mance parameters of microwave capacitors affecting these
applications.
DC Block
In the DC block application, the chip capacitor is placed in
series with the transmission line to prevent the DC voltage
from one circuit from affecting another circuit.
The capacitance is chosen so that the reactance is only a
fraction of an ohm at the lowest microwave frequency of
interest.
The largest value capacitor is used as long as the self-resonant
frequency is still much higher than the highest frequency of
interest.
RF Bypass
The RF bypass application is used to effectively short out the
RF to ground. The capacitor value is also picked to be as
large as possible without approaching the self-resonance of
the capacitor.
Source Bypass
The source bypass application is the same as the RF bypass
except the capacitor is used in conjunction with an active
device.
In this application the chip capacitor is butted up to the
source of the microwave FET device mounted on the MIC
circuit. This is done to minimize the length of the wire bond
from the source of the FET to the capacitor. The shorter the
wire bond, the lower the corresponding inductance.
Figure 1
The top side of the capacitor should be completely metal-
lized so that the bond wire from the FET to the edge of the
capacitor is minimized.
The height of the capacitor must be less than or equal to the
height of the FET, usually about 0.005 inches. If the capaci-
tor is higher than the FET, the capacitor will interfere with the
bonding tool when wire bonding to the FET.
Impedance Matching
The impedance matching application is to use the chip
capacitor to provide the required reactance at a specific
point in the circuit.
This is usually the most critical application in terms of the
capacitor maintaining a tight tolerance over temperature and
from unit-to-unit.
The other applications only require that the capacitance for
the DC block and RF bypass maintains a low reactance and
the tolerance can be as much as ±50%. Whereas the imped-
ance matching function often requires ±1% tolerance.
In general, microwave capacitors should have the following
properties:
• Low-loss
• Operate very much below the self-resonant frequency
• The power handling capability should be commensurate
with the expected power performance of the circuit
• Capable of wire bonding and gap welding
• Low variation of capacitance over temperature
• Low unit-to-unit variations in capacitance
• Low dimensional variations from unit-to-unit

Scattering Parameters
Generally, transmission and reflections coefficient measure-
ments completely characterize any black box or network.
Transmission and reflections parameters — attenuation
(gain), phase shift, and complex impedance — can be
described in terms of a set of linear parameters called
“scattering” or “s” parameters. Knowing these characteristic
parameters, one can predict the response of cascaded
or parallel networks accurately. Unlike y or h parameters
which require short circuit and open circuit terminations, “s”
parameters are determined with the input and output ports
terminated in the characteristic impedance of the transmis-
sion line which is a much more practical condition to obtain
at RF and microwave frequencies.
To summarize, “s” parameters are more useful at microwave
frequencies because:
1. Equipment to measure total voltage and total currents
at the ports of the networks is not readily available.
2. Short and open circuits are difficult to achieve over a
broad band of frequencies because of lead inductance
and capacitance. Furthermore, these measurements
typically require tuning stubs separately adjusted at
each frequency to reflect short and open circuits to the
device terminals, and this makes the process inconve-
nient and tedious.
3. Active devices such as transistors and negative resis-
tance diodes are very often not short- or open-circuit
stable.
There are four scattering parameters for a two-port network:
S11, S12, S21, and S22.
S11 is the reflection coefficient at the input port with the
output port terminated in a 50 ohm load.
S12 is the reverse transmission coefficient in a 50 ohm
system.
S21 is the forward transmission coefficient in a 50 ohm
system.
S22 is the reflection coefficient at the output port with the
input port terminated into a 50 ohm load.
The reflection coefficients can be directly related to the
impedance of the device by the equation:
Eq.1. ZIN/ZO = (1 + S11)/(1 - S11)
where ZIN= input impedance
ZO = characteristic impedance of
the transmission line
This equation also defines the Smith Chart.
Return Loss
Return loss is the ratio of the incident power to the reflected
power at a point on the transmission line and is expressed in
decibels. The reflected power from a discontinuity is
expressed as a certain number of decibels below the inci-
dent power upon the discontinuity. It can be shown that
return loss can be related to the reflection coefficient and
VSWR:
Eq. 2. RL (dB) = 10 *log (Pinc/Pref)
= 20 *log (Einc/Eref) = 20 *log (1/Rho)
Eq. 3. Rho = (VSWR - 1)/(VSWR + 1)
Eq. 4. VSWR = (1 + Rho)/(1 - Rho)
where Rho = reflection coefficient
RL = return loss
Pinc = power incident
Pref = power reflected
Einc = voltage incident
Eref = voltage reflected
VSWR = voltage standing wave ratio
By the above equation, when the reflection coefficient is 1,
the return loss is zero. In this case, no signal is lost and all
the signal incident upon the discontinuity was returned to the
source. As the reflection coefficient approaches zero, the
return loss approaches infinity. That is, the more perfect the
load, the less the reflection from that load.
The return loss can be improved by an attenuator.
Assume that we connect a perfectly matched 3 dB attenua-
tor into a short circuit as shown in Figure 3.
Figure 3
The indicated 100 mw is decreased to 50 mw at the output
of the 3 dB attenuator. This 50 mw is reflected from the short
circuit back through the attenuator in the reverse direction
and one-half of this reflected power is lost in the 3 dB atten-
uator. The reflected power at the input is 25 mw. Notice the
return loss is equal to twice the attenuation because it is the
“round trip” loss. This example shows that VSWR is
decreased when attenuation exists on a transmission line
and also that a high VSWR can be decreased by placing an
attenuator in the line.
Mismatch Loss
Mismatch loss is a measure of power loss caused by reflec-
tion. It is the ratio of incident power to the difference between
incident and reflected power and is expressed in dBs as
follows:
Eq. 5. Mismatch loss (dB) = 10 *log
[Pinc/(Pinc - Pref)]
= 10

[1/(1-Rho = 2)]

The mismatch loss for various values of VSWR is tabulated
as follows:

1.40 0.12 dB
1.50 0.18 dB
1.70 0.30 dB
2.00 0.51 dB
2.50 0.88 dB
3.00 1.25 dB
Insertion Loss Measurement
Insertion loss is measured by the substitution method. The
insertion loss of the measurement system is used as a refer-
ence. Then the DUT (Device Under Test) is inserted into the
setup and the new insertion loss is measured. The difference
between the two losses is the insertion loss of the DUT.
The insertion loss is measured using the test setup as shown
in Figure 5.
In order to accurately measure the insertion loss, source
VSWR and load VSWR must be extremely Iow. It is assumed
during calibration (loss of the measurement system with
the DUT removed from the test setup) that the VSWR of the
generator and the load does not contribute any mismatch
losses. As discussed in the section on mismatch loss, any
VSWR above 1.2:1 may cause a minimum error of 0.04 dB.
In addition, the two VSWRs may be additive or subtractive
depending on the phasing of the reflections. For example,
source and load VSWRs of 1.2:1 can add to create an error
of 0.08 dB. The mismatches usually exhibit themselves as
amplitude ripple as a function of frequency. It is important
when measuring low insertion losses that precautions are
taken to ensure low source and load VSWRs and to keep the
mismatch losses due to the two VSWRs to a small fraction
of the expected insertion loss of the DUT.
In using the scalar network analyzer it is a temptation to nor-
malize the amplitude response regardless what the actual
response is during calibration. It is advisable to eliminate the
amplitude ripple first before normalizing the scalar analyzer.
One way is to make use of the fact that VSWRs can be
improved by the use of matched attenuators. Often, 10 dB
attenuators are placed before and after the DUT to provide a
minimum of 20 dB return loss which corresponds to source
and load VSWRs of less than 1.20:1. This will reduce the
uncertainties due to mismatch losses to less than 0.02 dB.
Return Loss Measurement
The return loss is measured by the following method: The
test port is terminated by a short circuit so that all the inci-
dent power is reflected. A detector on the bridge measures
this power and this power is used as the reference for the
incident power. The test port is then terminated by the DUT
and the reflected power now measured. The difference
between the power levels is the return loss.

• All incident power is reflected at the short circuit.
• The detector measures the reflected power.
• An SWR bridge usually has a directivity of 35 to 40 dB.
In other words, only a minute fraction of the incident power
reaches the detector (the dotted line path) that is not
reflected off the short circuit.
• The DUT is substituted for the short circuit and the oppo-
site port is terminated by a matched termination (50 ohms).
• The reflected power depends on the DUT and is sensed by
the detector.
• The return loss is the difference between this reflected
power and that measured with a reference short circuit.
• A significant improvement in calibrating a 0 dB return loss
reference by averaging the short circuit and open circuit
reflected powers.
• The dotted line in the figure below shows the reflections
due to an open circuit.
• The solid line in the figure below shows the reflections due
to a short circuit.
• Since the phase difference between short circuit and open
circuit is 180 degrees.
• By taking the average between these two voltages, the
actual full reflection is very closely approximated.
Figure 7
Note that the insertion loss and return loss can be measured
simultaneously by using the dual trace feature of the Wiltron
Scalar Analyzer. Furthermore, the two measurements can be
done by using a controller such as the HP85 computer for
semi-automatic testing.
The calibration for 0 dB return loss can be improved by aver-
aging the short circuit and open circuit reflected powers.
Since the phase difference is 180 degrees, the average
closely approximates the actual full reflection.
Decibels
The decibel, abbreviated “dB,” is one-tenth of the interna-
tional transmission unit known as the “bel.” The origin of the
bel is the logarithm to the base 10 of the power ratio. It is
the power to which the number 10 must be raised in order
to equal the given number. The number 10 is raised to the
second power, or squared, in order to get 100. Therefore,
the log of 100 is 2.
The decibel is expressed mathematically by the equation:
Eq. 6 dB = 10 * log (P2/P1)
P2 = larger power
P1 = lower power
The use of log tables can be avoided in practical applications
where exact values of the power are not required. One only
needs to know that a factor of 2 is equal to 3 dB and a fac-
tor of 10 is equal to 10 dB and the rest of the conversions
are derived from these two relationships. The use of dBs
reduces multiplication into an addition. For example:
3dB = 2
6dB = 2 x 2 = 4
9dB = 2 x 2 x 2 = 8
10dB = 10
20dB = 100
The technique is based on the fact that 3, 6, and/or 9 dB
can be added or subtracted (in some combination) to any
decibel value. Adding or subtracting 10 to a decibel value
simply multiplies or divides the number by ten. Examples:
1. 17dB = 20dB - 3dB
20dB is 10dB + 10dB or is equal to 100.
3dB is equal to 2
Therefore, 20 dB - 3dB = 100/2 = 50
2. 36dB = 30dB + 6dB
1000 x 4 = 4000
Decibel:
The decibel is not a unit of power but merely is a logarithmic
expression of a ratio of two numbers. The unit of power may
be expressed in terms of dBm, where “m” is the unit, mean-
ing above or below one milliwatt. Since one mw is neither
above nor below 1 mw, 1 mw= 0 dBm.
Nepers:
An alternate unit called the neper is defined in terms of the
logarithm to the base “e.” e = 2.718.
1 neper = 8.686dB
1dB = 0.1151 neper

Capacitance
Microwave chip capacitors, although closely approx-
imating an ideal capacitor, nonetheless also contain
parasitic elements that are important at microwave fre-
quencies. The equivalent circuit is shown below:
Figure 8. Equivalent Circuit of a
Microwave Capacitor
where, C = desired capacitance
LS= parasitic series inductance
RS= series resistance
CP= parasitic parallel capacitance,
Rp, the parallel resistance is not shown as it is of concern
only at dc and low frequencies.
The primary capacitance, C, is typically determined by mea-
surement at 1 MHz where the effects of Rs, Ls, and Cp
become negligible compared to the reactance of C. The
value of C determined at this low frequency is also valid
at microwave frequencies when the dielectric constant has
a very low variation versus frequency, as is typical in the
modern dielectrics employed in microwave capacitors.
The equivalent impedance of the capacitor at any frequency is:
Eq. 7.Zs = 1
sCp + 1
Rs + sLs + 1/s
Cs
where s = j2f, f = frequency
Series and Parallel Resonance
Ideally, the impedance magnitude of a series mounted
capacitor will vary monotonically from infinite at dc to zero at
infinite frequency. However, the parasitics associated with
any capacitor result in a nonideal response.
Figure 9 shows the magnitude, :Z (F):, as a function of
frequency.
Figure 10 shows Z(f) on the Smith Chart, which includes
magnitude and phase.
Eq. 8. In general, an impedance is represented by Z=R + j X.
The Smith Chart maps the entire impedance half plane for
R > 0 into the interior of a unit circle. The Smith Chart is a
mapping of the reflection coefficient, S11, of an impedance.
S11 = (Z- ZO) / (Z + ZO). ZO is a reference impedance, typ-
ically 50 ohms, and is in the center of the chart. The central
horizontal axis is for X = O, with R < 50 to the left of center,
and R > 50 to the right of center.
Figures 9 and 10 also show the point of series resonance (LS
in series with C), and parallel resonance (LS in parallel with
CP).
Figure 9. SLC Impedance Magnitude vs. Frequency
Figure 10. SLC Impedance on Smith Chart
Because there is always some parasitic inductance associat-
ed with capacitors, there will be a frequency at which the
inductive reactance will equal that of the capacitor. This is
known as the series resonant frequency (SRF). At the SRF,
the capacitor will appear as a small resistor (RS). The trans-
mission loss through a series mounted capacitor at its series
resonant frequency will be low.
At frequencies above the SRF, the capacitor begins to act
like an inductor.
When used as a DC block, the capacitor will begin to exhib-
it gradually higher insertion loss above the SRF. In other
words, the capacitor will cause a high frequency rolloff of its
transmission amplitude response.
When used as an RF bypass, as for the source of an FET, the
inductance will cause the FET to become unstable which can
cause oscillations or undesirable effects on the gain
response of the FET amplifier.
Beyond the SRF, there is a frequency called the parallel
resonant frequency (PRF). This occurs when the reactance of
the series inductor equals that of the parallel capacitor.

At this parallel resonant frequency, the capacitor will appear
as a large resister whose value is RPRF defined as:
Eq. 9. RPRF = Rs x QPX QP; where, QP= 1/RS
WP/CP
WP= 2fPRF
The parasitic parallel capacitance is usually very small which
results in a parallel resonant frequency that is much higher
than the series resonance.
For capacitor usage in RF impedance matching and tuning
applications, the maximum practical frequency for use is up
to 0.5 times the SRF.
For DC filtering and RF shorting applications, best perfor-
mance is obtained near the SRF.
At frequencies above the SRF, but below the PRF, the SLC
can be used as a low loss inductor with a built-in DC block
for bypassing and decoupling.
The series resonant frequency (SRF) of an SLC can be
measured by mounting the capacitor in series on a 50 ohm
transmission line as shown in Figure 11.
Figure 11
At its series resonant frequency (SRF), the SLC will appear as
a small resistance. This measurement can be performed with
a vector network analyzer such as the Hewlett Packard
8510. The SRF is at the frequency for which the phase of the
input reflection coefficient, S11, is crossing the real axis on
the Smith Chart at 180 degrees.
The resonant frequency will be lowered by the inductance
associated with the bonding attachment to the capacitor
(i.e., bonding wires, ribbons, leads, etc.). The actual resonant
frequency of the capacitor by itself can be determined by
taking out the effects of the bonding attachment inductance.
Using the low frequency measurements of the primary
capacitance alone, the inductance of the capacitor can be
derived from the resonant frequency. With AVX SLC’s, the
inductance is low enough so that the practical operating fre-
quencies achieved can be beyond 20 GHz.
Equivalent Series Resistance
The equivalent series resistance is the RS in the electrical
model. At the SRF, the ESR can be readily determined on the
Smith Chart display of the capacitor’s impedance. However,
the ESR is not necessarily constant with frequency and its
value is typically determined by an insertion loss measure-
ment of the capacitor at the desired frequency.
The insertion loss is a combination of reflective and absorp-
tive components. The absorptive component is the part
associated with the value of the ESR (i.e., the loss in RS).
Because of the low values of ESR in microwave capacitors
(on the order of 0.01 ohm), the insertion loss measurement
is very difficult to make, but can be made with a test fixture
similar to that shown in Figure 11, but with the input and out-
put 50 ohm impedances transformed down to some more
convenient impedance level, Rref, to obtain a more accurate
measurement.
When used as a DC block in the transmission line test fixture,
the forward transmission coefficient, S21, and the input
reflection coefficient, S11, can be measured to determine:
Eq. 10. Dissipative Loss.
DL=(1-:S11:^2)/(:S21:^2)
Eq. 11. Reflection Loss.
RL=(1-:S11:^2) where S11 and S21 are expressed
as complex phasors.
From the dissipative loss, DL, the ESR can be determined
as:
Eq. 12. ESR = Rref * [1 - SQRT(DL)]/[1 + SQRT(DL)]
The ESR typically increases with operating temperature and
self-heating under high power. This increase can be seen
directly in the lab by measuring the insertion loss of the
capacitor as a function of temperature.
A low ESR is especially necessary in SLC’s when used in
series with transistors in low noise amplifiers, high gain
amplifiers, or high power amplifiers. For example, an ESR of
1 ohm in series with a base input impedance of 1 ohm would
result in a serious compromise in ampIifier gain and noise
figure by up to 3 dB.
Power Rating
The RF power rating of chip capacitors is dependent on:
• Thermal Breakdown
• Voltage Breakdown
Thermal Breakdown
Thermal breakdown is self-heating caused by RF power dis-
sipated in the capacitor.
If the resultant heat generated is greater than what can be
conducted away through the leads or other means of heat
sinking, the capacitor temperature will rise.

As the capacitor temperature increases, the dissipation fac-
tor and ESR of the capacitor also increase which creates a
thermal runaway situation.
The small signal insertion loss is used to determine the per-
centage of power which is dissipated in the capacitor.
For instance, if the insertion loss is:
0.01 dB then .2% of the incident power is lost as heat
0.10 dB then 2% of the incident power is lost as heat
1.00 dB then 20% of the incident power is lost as heat
The capacitor will heat up according to the amount of power
dissipated in the capacitor and the heat sinking provided.
Even very low ESR, 0.01 ohm at 1 GHz, can be significant
when passing power through a series mounted capacitor
into a typically low impedance bipolar transistor base input
with an input impedance of only 1 ohm. If 1% of 10 watts is
dissipated in the capacitor, this 100 milliwatt of power causes
a very large increase in the capacitor temperature dependent
on its heat sinking in the MIC circuit.
Voltage Breakdown
The voltage breakdown also limits the maximum power
handling capability of the capacitor.
The voltage breakdown properties of the capacitors is
dependent on the following:
• dielectric material
• voids in the material
• form factor
• separation of the electrodes
Most microwave capacitors have a DC voltage rating of 50
VDC. This is much greater than typical DC voltages of 3 to
15 volts present on an MIC circuit.
Dielectric Constant Measurement at
Microwave Frequencies
The measurement of dielectric constants at low frequencies
is easily done by measuring the capacitance of a substrate
of known dimensions and calculating the dielectric constant.
The resonance method is used in measuring dielectric
constants at microwave frequencies of metallized ceramic
substrates. This is based on the model of the high dielectric
constant substrate as a parallel plate dielectrically loaded
waveguide resonator. By observing the resonant frequencies
and knowing the dimensions of the substrate, the dielectric
constant is calculated by fitting the resonances into a table
of expected fundamental and higher order modes. This
method can be measured by connecting the corners of the
substrates to the center conductors of either an APC-7 or
Type N connector. The test setup is the same as for insertion
loss measurements. This method as described in the litera-
ture for an alumina substrate with a dielectric constant of
approximately 10 and a substrate height of 0.025 inches can
be measured to an accuracy of 2%. The Napoli-Hughes
Method uses an open circuit assumption for the unmetallized
edges which can be radiative. This inaccuracy is reduced if
thinner substrates or if higher dielectric constant substrates
are used which will tend to reduce radiation. Higher accuracy
can be achieved by metallizing all six sides of the substrate
except for the corners where the RF is coupled to the sub-
strate. This method as reported by Howell provided more
consistent results.

Transmission Lines
Propagation Constant and
Characteristic Impedance
The incident waves of voltage and current decrease in mag-
nitude and vary in phase as one goes toward the receiving
end of the transmission line which has losses. The propaga-
tion constant is a measure of the phase shift and attenuation
along the line.
• attenuation per unit length of line is called the attenuation
constant. (dB or nepers per unit length)
• phase constant, phase shift per unit length. (radians per
unit length)
• angular frequency, 2 * pi * f

(G+jwC) - complex shunt admittance per unit length of line.

Figure 14
This figure shows generation of standing waves on a short-
ed transmission line. Dotted lines to the right of the short cir-
cuit represent the distance the wave would have traveled in
absence of the short. Dotted vectors represent the reflected
wave. The heavy solid line represents the vector sum of the
incident and refected waves. (d) and (e) represent instanta-
neous voltages and currents at different intervals of time.
Standing Waves
Standing waves on the lossless transmission line:
An incident wave will not be reflected if the transmission line
is terminated in either matched load or if the transmission line
is infinitely long. Otherwise, reflected waves will be present.
In other words, any impedance will cause reflections.
Let us consider the case of a lossless transmission line ter-
minated in a short line. In this case all of the incident wave
will be reflected. See Figure 15.
The dotted sine wave to the right of the short circuit in the
diagram indicates the position and distance the wave would
have traveled in the absence of the short circuit. With the
short circuit placed at X, the wave travels the same distance
back toward the generator. In order to satisfy the boundary
conditions, the voltage at the short circuit must be zero at all
times. This is accomplished by a reflected wave which is
equal in magnitude and reversed in polarity (shown by the
superimposed reflected wave and the resultant total voltage
on the line). Note that the total voltage is twice the amplitude
of the incident voltage at a quarter wavelength back toward
the generator and the total voltage is zero at one-half wave-
length from the short.

Figure 17

The total voltage pattern is called a standing wave. Standing
waves exist as the result of two waves of the same frequency
traveling in opposite directions on a transmission line.
The total voltage at any instant has a sine wave distribution
along the line with zero voltage at the short and zero points at
half wave intervals from the short circuit. The points of zero
voltages are called voltage nodes and the points of maximum
voltage halfway between these nodes are called antinodes.
Open Circuit:
At a distance of one-quarter wavelength from the short, the
voltage is found to be twice the amplitude of the incident
voltage, which is equivalent to an open circuit. Therefore, this
same distribution would be obtained if an open circuit were
placed a quarter wavelength from the short. In the case the
first node is located a quarter wavelength from the open and
the first antinode is right as the open. The node-to-node
spacing remains half wavelength as is the antinode-to-antinode
spacing.
Voltage Standing Wave Ratio:
The voltage standing wave ratio is defined as the ratio of the
maximum voltage to the minimum voltage on a transmission
line. This ratio is most frequently referred to as VSWR (Viswar).
Eq. 14. VSWR = Emax =Ei+ Er=1 + Rho
Emin Ei- Er1 - Rho
where Rho = reflective coefficient
If the transmission line is terminated in a short or open circuit,
the reflected voltage, Er, is equal to the incident voltage, Ei.
From the above equation the reflection coefficient is 1.0, and
the VSWR is infinite. If a matched termination is connected to
the line, the reflected wave is zero, the reflection coefficient is
zero, and the VSWR is zero.

Microwave Integrated Circuit Hybrids
A Microwave Integrated Circuit Hybrid (MIC) is a microwave
circuit that uses integrated circuit production techniques
involving such factors as thin or thick films, substrates,
dielectrics, conductors, resistors, and microstrip lines, to
build passive assemblies on a dielectric. Active elements
such as microwave diodes and transistors are usually added
after photo resist, masking, etching, and deposition process-
es have been completed. MICs usually are enclosed as
shielded microstrip to prevent electromagnetic interference
with other components or systems. This section will discuss
some of the important characteristics of MICs, such as:
• MIC substrates
• MIC metallization
• MIC components
MIC Substrates:
Microstrip employs circuitry that is large compared to the
wavelength of the frequency used with the circuit. For this
reason, the etched metal patterns often are distributed cir-
cuits with transmission lines etched directly onto the MIC
substrate. Figure 19 shows the pertinent dimensional para-
meters for a microstrip transmission line.
For the current discussion we are most interested in the high-
er microwave frequencies. The MIC circuit design requires a
uniform and predictable substrate characteristic. Several
types of substrates in common usage are: alumina, sapphire,
quartz, and beryllium oxide. Key requirements for a MIC sub-
strate are that it have:
• Low dielectric loss
• Uniform dielectric constant
• Smooth finish
• Low expansion coefficient
Figure 19. MIC Microstrip Outline
The characteristic impedance of the microstrip line is depen-
dent primarily on the following:
• Width of the conductor: Increase in the width “W” of the
conductor will decrease the ZO of the microstrip line.
• Height of the substrate: Increase in the height “H” of the
substrate will increase the ZO of the microstrip line.
• Dielectric Constant: Increase of the dielectric constant of
the substrate will decrease the ZO of the microstrip line.
Table II shows a brief listing of substrate properties.
Table II
The dependence of ZO to the above parameters is as shown:
Eq. 15. ZO(f) = 377 * H/(W)/Sqrt (Er)
where, H = height of the substrate
W = width of the microstrip
conductor
Er = dielectric constant of the
substrate
A graph of ZO versus W/H for several values of dielectric
constants is shown below:
Figure 20
The most popular substrate material is alumina which has a
dielectric constant of between 9.6 and 10.0 depending on
the vendor and the purity. Other substrates are used where
the specified unique properties of the material (beryllia for
high power, ferrites for magnetic properties) are demanded
by design.

MIC Metallization:
MIC metallization is a thin film of two or more layers of met-
als. A base metallization layer is deposited onto the sub-
strate, another layer may be optionally deposited on top of
this, and then a final gold layer is deposited onto the surface.
The base metallization is chosen for its adhesion to the sub-
strate and for compatibility with the next layer.
The base metallization is usually lossy at microwave fre-
quencies. The losses due to this metallization can be kept to
a minimum if its thickness does not exceed one “skin depth”
of the metal.
Skin effect defines a phenomenon at microwave frequencies
where the current travelling along a conductor does not pen-
etrate the conductor but remains on the surface of the con-
ductor. The “skin depth” indicates how far the microwave
current will penetrate into the metal. The “skin depth” is
smaller as the frequency increases.
By keeping the lossy metallization as thin as possible, more
of the microwave current will propagate in the top metalliza-
tion gold layer and loss is minimized.
Typical metallization schemes used in the industry are:
• Chromium-Gold: Cr-Au
• Nichrome-Gold: NiCr-Au
• Chromium-Copper-Gold: Cr-Cu-Au
• Titanium-Tungsten-Gold: TiW-Au
• Others
MIC Components:
Microstrip has advantages over other microwave circuit
topologies in that active semiconductors and passive com-
ponents can easily be incorporated to make active hybrid
circuits. It is possible to mix high and low frequency circuitry
to attain a “system-on-a substrate.”
Passive Components:
On MIC circuits, the passive components are either distrib-
uted or lumped elements. The distributed components are
usually realized by etched patterns on the substrate metal-
lization. The lumped components are capacitors, resistors,
and inductors; and whenever possible components are
derived by etching them directly on the MlC metallization thin
film. Chip components are used when they offer advantages
such as:
• Component values are beyond that realizable by thin film
techniques on the MIC substrates,
• Smaller size is required,
• High power capability is required.
Capacitors, resistors, and inductors are discussed in the
following:
Capacitors:
A lumped capacitor can be realized by the parallel gap
capacitance of an area of metallization on the top of the sub-
strate to the ground plane. Values of capacitance that can be
obtained by this method are usually less than a few pico-
farads. At microwave frequencies if the capacitor size in any
one dimension begins to approach a quarter-wavelength, a
resonance will occur.
Large values of capacitance can be achieved with a dielec-
tric constant between the capacitor plates while maintaining
the small size required for MIC circuits.
Chip capacitors can be fabricated on substrate with a dielec-
tric constant up to 5000. This higher dielectric constant
allows a much smaller size capacitor for a given capacitance
value which is a very desirable feature both from the real
estate aspect and the self-resonance aspect.
Resistors:
MIC resistors are often realized by using a resistive base layer
on the MIC substrate metallization, and by etching the prop-
er pattern to expose the resistive layer in the MIC circuitry.
The exact value of the resistor is determined by:
• resistivity of the resistive base layer, and
• length and width of the resistor.
Thin film resistive base layers are usually the following:
• tantalum nitrite, or
• nickel-chrome (nichrome).
When chip resistors are used, they are mounted and con-
nected in the same way as the chip capacitors.
Inductors:
Inductors are often realized by using narrow etched
microstrip lines which provides inductance on the order of
1 to 5 nanohenrys.
Higher values up to 50 nanohenrys are obtained by etching
a round or square spiral onto the MIC metallization.
Even higher values can be obtained by using wound wire
inductors or chip inductors which are wire coils encased in a
ceramic.
Both types of discrete inductors are attached to the circuit
by the same means as the capacitors.

Active components:
The active devices in the MIC circuit can be made of entirely
different materials than the substrates and are usually
attached to the substrates by eutectic soldering or conduc-
tive epoxy.
Typical active devices on MIC circuits are the following:
• GaAs FETs
• Bipolar Transistors
• Schottky Barrier Diodes
• PIN Diodes
• Various other Semiconductors
The active devices can be either in:
• a plastic or ceramic package with metal leads, or
• chip form.
The packaged devices are commonly used at a lower
frequency range than the chip devices since they exhibit
more parasitic circuit elements that limit their performance at
higher frequency.
The advantages of packaged devices are protection of the
devices during transport and mounting, ease of characteri-
zation, and ease of mounting onto the MIC circuit.
Chip Component Attach:
The methods of attachment of the chip components to the
substrate are usually by:
• eutectic solder die attach, and
• epoxy die attach.
1. Eutectic Die Attach
The eutectic die attach method can be used with several
alloys. Eutectic defines the exact alloy combination at which
the solidus to liquidus transition takes place at one particular
temperature. Other combinations have transition states with
wider temperature ranges. For instance, the eutectic tem-
perature for the following alloys are:
Table III
For best results, the eutectic attach is performed under an
inert gas atmosphere, typically nitrogen, to reduce oxidation
at high temperatures. The eutectic must be selected so that
the die attach operations will not interfere with prior solder-
ing operations and itself will not be disturbed by subsequent
process steps. The metallization should be able to undergo
400°C without any blistering or other adhesion degradation.
2. Epoxy Die Attach
The epoxy die attach method uses silver or gold conductive
particles in an epoxy. The epoxy for chip attach on MIC
circuits is a one-part type which cures at temperatures of from
125°C to 200°C. The curing time is a function of temperature.
A cure time of 30 minutes at 150°C is a good compromise for
high reliability and a reasonable cure time.
Chip Components Interconnection:
The chip components are interconnected to the MIC circuit
by means of:
• wire bonding, and
• miniature parallel gap welding.
