HSCH-9101/9201/9251 GaAs Beam Lead Schottky Barrier Diodes Data Sheet Description The HSCH-9101 single, the HSCH-9201 series pair, and the HSCH-9251 anti-parallel pair are advanced gallium arsenide Schottky barrier diodes. These devices are fabricated utilizing molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) manufacturing techniques and feature rugged construction and consistent electrical performance. A polyimide coating provides scratch protection and resistance to contamination.

Some suggested mixer types are single ended and single balanced for the single and series pair. The antiparallel pair is ideal for harmonic mixers. Diode ESD precautions, handling considerations, and bonding methods are critical factors in successful diode performance and reliability. Avago application note #55, "Beam Lead Diode Bonding and Handling Procedures" provides basic information on these subjects. Assembly Techniques Diodes are ESD sensitive. ESD preventive measures must be em ployed in all aspects of storage, handling, and assembly.
