The chip carrier should be nickel-gold plated and capable of withstanding 325C for 20 minutes. Die attach should be done with Gold/Tin (80/20) eutectic alloy in inert ambient gas. The backside is used as heatsinking, DC, and RF contacts. All die attach and wire bond equipment, especially the tools which touch a die, should be well grounded to avoid accidental discharge through a die.
