Description
M/A-COM Technology Solutions MA4FCP200 is a
silicon flip chip PIN diode fabricated using a patented
HMIC process which provides for repeatable electrical
characteristics. This diode is fabricated on epitaxial
wafers using a process designed for extremely low
parasitics. The diode is fully passivated with silicon
nitride to minimize leakage current. The chip also has
an additional polymer layer for impact and scratch
protection to prevent damage to the active area
during handling.
Applications
The small outline and low 0.05pS RC product, make
the device useful in multi-throw switches and switched
phase shifter circuits requiring <20nS switching
speeds at operating frequencies up to 18GHz.

Handling Procedures
All semiconductor chips should be handled with care to avoid damage or contamination from perspiration and skin
oils. The use of plastic tipped tweezers or vacuum pickups is strongly recommended for individual components.
Bulk handling should insure that abrasion and mechanical shock are minimized.
Bonding Techniques
These devices were designed for insertion onto hard or soft substrates with the junction (pad) side down. They
can be mounted with electrically conductive epoxy or with a eutectic solder preform. However, tin rich solders
will scavenge gold from the bottom contacts and are not recommended. Indalloy or 80/20, Au/Sn, solders
are acceptable. Maximum soldering temperature must be <300°C for <10 sec. These chips are designed to
be inserted onto hard or soft substrates with the junction side down. They should be mounted onto silk-
screened 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 kept below 200°C. The die can also be assembled using non conductive epoxy with the
junction side up, and wire or ribbon bonds made to the pads.
