Features
Lower Series Resistance : 2.6
Lower Capacitance : 40 fF
Faster Switching Speed : 40 nS
Silicon Nitride Reliability Passivation
Polyimide Scratch Protection
Designed for Automated Pick and Place Insertion
Rugged by Design
Description
M/A-COM’s MA4FCP Series consists of Silicon Flip
Chip PIN diodes fabricated with M/A-COM’s patented
HMIC process. This diode is fabricated on epitaxial
wafers using a process designed for repeatable electrical
characteristics and extremely low parasitics. This diode
is fully passivated with Silicon Nitride and has an
additional layer of Polyimide for scratch protection.
These protective coatings prevent damage to the junction
during automated or manual handling. This flip chip
configuration is suitable for pick and place insertion.
Applications
The small 0315 outline and low 0.12 pS RC product,
make the device useful for multi-throw switch and
switched phase shifter circuits requiring < 40 nS
switching speeds up to 18 GHz operating frequency.

Assembly Procedures
The following precautions should be observed to avoid
damaging these devices.
Cleanliness
These devices should be handled in a clean environment. Do
not attempt to clean die after installation.
ESD
These devices very susceptible to ESD and are rated Class 0
(0-199V) per HBM MIL-STD-883, method 3015.7 [C =
100pF ±10%, R = 1.5kΩ ±1%]. Even though tested die pass
100V ESD, they must be handled in a static-free
environment.
General Handling
The protective polymer coating on the active areas of these
devices provides scratch protection, particularly for the metal
airbridge that contacts the anode. Die can be handled with
tweezers or vacuum pickups and are suitable for use with
automatic pick-and-place equipment.
Mounting Techniques
These devices were designed for insertion onto hard or
soft substrates with the junction side down. They can be
mounted with electrically conductive epoxy or with a
low temperature solder preform. The die can also be
assembled with the junction side up, and wire or ribbon
bonds made to the pads.
Solder Die Attach using Electrically
Conductive Ag Epoxy and Solder
These chips are designed to be inserted onto hard or soft
substrates with the junction side down. They should be
mounted onto silkscreened circuits using Electrically
Conductive Ag Epoxy, approximately 1-2 mils in
thickness and cured at approximately 90°C to 150 °C per
manufacturer’s schedule. For extended cure times > 30
minutes, temperatures must be below 200 °C.
Sn Rich Solders ( > 30 % by Weight ) are not
recommended due to the Tungsten Metallization scheme
beneath the gold contacts. Indalloy or 80 Au/20 Sn
Solders are acceptable. Maximum soldering temperature
must be < 300 °C for < 10 seconds.
