50 ohms on both the input and output. It can be used as a power ampli-
fier stage or as a driver stage in high power applications.
Fabricated using M/A-COM’s repeatable, high performance and highly
reliable GaAs Multifunction Self-Aligned Gate (MSAG™)Process, each
device is 100% RF tested on wafer to ensure performance compliance.
M/A-COM’s MSAG™ process features robust silicon-like manufacturing
processes, planar processing of ion implanted transistors, multiple im-
plant capability enabling power, low-noise, switch and digital FETs on a
single chip, and polyimide scratch protection for ease of use with auto-
mated manufacturing processes. The use of refractory metals and the
absence of platinum in the gate metal formulation prevents hydrogen
poisoning when employed in hermetic packaging.

Assembly Instructions:
Die attach:
Use AuSn (80/20) 1 mil. preform solder. Limit time @ 300 °C to less than 5 minutes.
Wirebonding:
Bond @ 160 °C using standard ball or thermal compression wedge bond techniques.
For DC pad connections, use either ball or wedge bonds. For best RF performance, use wedge
bonds of shortest length, although ball bonds are also acceptable.
Biasing Note: Must apply negative bias to V
