MA4PBL027 HMICTM Silicon Beam-Lead PIN Diodes Rev. V1 Features Absolute Maximum Ratings1 * * * * * * * * * * * @ TA = +25C ( Unless otherwise specified ) Beam-Lead Device No Wirebonds Required Rugged Silicon-Glass Construction Silicon Nitride Passivation Polymer Scratch and Impact Protection Low Parasitic Capacitance and Inductance Ultra Low Capacitance < 40 fF Excellent RC Product < 0.10 pS High Switching Cutoff Frequency > 110 GHz 110 Nanosecond Minority Carrier Lifetime Driven by Standard +5V TTL PIN Diode Driver Description This device is a Silicon-Glass Beam-Lead PIN diode fabricated TM with M/A-COM's patented HMIC process. This device features one silicon pedestal embedded in a low loss, low dispersion glass which supports the beam-leads. The diode is formed on the top of the pedestal, and airbridges connect the diode to the beam-leads. The topside is fully encapsulated with silicon nitride and has an additional polymer layer for scratch and impact protection. These protective coatings prevent damage to the junction and the air-bridges during handling and assembly. The diodes themselves exhibit low series resistance, low capacitance, and extremely fast switching speed. Parameter Forward Current 100 mA Reverse Voltage 90 V Operating Temperature -55 C to +125 C Storage Temperature -55 C to +150 C Junction Temperature + 175 C RF C.W. Incident Power 30 dBm C.W. RF & DC Dissipated Power 150 mW Mounting Temperature +235C for 10 seconds 1. Exceeding these limits may cause permanent damage. Case Style ODS-1302 Cathode A Applications The ultra low capacitance of this device allows use through Wband (110 GHz) applications. The low RC product and low profile of the PIN diodes makes it ideal for use in microwave and millimeter wave switch designs, where lower insertion loss and higher isolation are required. The + 10 mA ( low loss state ) and the 0v ( isolation state ) bias of the diodes allows the use a simple + 5V TTL gate driver. These diodes are used as switching arrays on radar systems, high-speed ECM circuits, optical switching networks, instrumentation, and other wideband multi-throw switch assemblies.

Total capacitance, CT, is equivalent to the sum of Junction Capacitance ,Cj, and Parasitic Capacitance, Cpar. Series resistance RS is equivalent to the total diode resistance : Rs = Rj ( Junction Resistance) + Rc ( Ohmic Resistance) 4. Rs and CT are measured on an HP4291A Impedance Analyzer with die mounted in an ODS-186 package with conductive silver epoxy. Die Handling 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. Die Bonding These devices were designed to be inserted onto hard or soft substrates. Recommended methods of attachment include thermocompression bonding, parallel-gap welding, and electrically conductive silver epoxy. See Application Note M541, "Bonding and Handling Procedures for Chip Diode Devices" for More Detailed Assembly Instructions. 2 ADVANCED: Data Sheets contain information regarding a product M/A-COM Technology Solutions is considering for development.
