General Description
The HMC1081 is a double balanced mixer. It can be
used as an upconverter or a downconverter, with DC
to 26 GHz at the IF port and 50 to 75 GHz at the RF
port. This passsive MMIC mixer is fabricated with
GaAs Shottky diode technology. All bond pads and
the die backside are Ti/Au metallized and the Shottky
devices are fully passivated for reliable operation. All
data shown herein is measured with the chip in a 50
Ohm environment and contacted with RF probes.

GaAs MMIC MIXER
50 - 75 GHz
Mounting & Bonding Techniques for Millimeterwave GaAs MMICs
50 Ohm Microstrip transmission lines on 0.127mm (5 mil) thick alumina
thin film substrates are recommended for bringing RF to and from the chip
(Figure 1). One way to accomplish this is to attach the 0.102mm (4 mil)
thick die to a 0.150mm (6 mil) thick molybdenum heat spreader (molytab) which is then attached to the ground plane (Figure 2). Microstrip
substrates should be located as close to the die as possible in order to
minimize bond wire length. Typical die-to-substrate spacing is 0.076mm to
0.152 mm (3 to 6 mils).

Handling Precautions
0.127mm (0.005”) Thick Alumina
Thin Film Substrate
Follow these precautions to avoid permanent damage.
Storage: All bare die are placed in either Waffle or Gel based ESD protective containers, and then sealed in an ESD protective bag for shipment.
Once the sealed ESD protective bag has been opened, all die should be
stored in a dry nitrogen environment.
Cleanliness: Handle the chips in a clean environment. DO NOT attempt
to clean the chip using liquid cleaning systems.
Figure 1.
MIXERS - CHIP
The die should be attached directly to the ground plane eutectically or with
conductive epoxy (see HMC general Handling, Mounting, Bonding Note).

Static Sensitivity: Follow ESD precautions to protect against > ± 250V
ESD strikes.
Transients: Suppress instrument and bias supply transients while bias is
applied. Use shielded signal and bias cables to minimize inductive pickup.
General Handling: Handle the chip along the edges with a vacuum collet
or with a sharp pair of bent tweezers. The surface of the chip may have
fragile air bridges and should not be touched with vacuum collet, tweezers,
or fingers.

Figure 2.
Mounting
The chip is back-metallized and can be die mounted with AuSn eutectic preforms or with electrically conductive epoxy.
The mounting surface should be clean and flat.
Eutectic Die Attach: A 80/20 gold tin preform is recommended with a work surface temperature of 255 °C and a tool
temperature of 265 °C. When hot 90/10 nitrogen/hydrogen gas is applied, tool tip temperature should be 290 °C. DO
NOT expose the chip to a temperature greater than 320 °C for more than 20 seconds. No more than 3 seconds of
scrubbing should be required for attachment.
Epoxy Die Attach: Apply a minimum amount of epoxy to the mounting surface so that a thin epoxy fillet is observed
around the perimeter of the chip once it is placed into position. Cure epoxy per the manufacturer’s schedule.
Wire Bonding
Ball or wedge bond with 0.025mm (1 mil) diameter pure gold wire. Thermosonic wirebonding with a nominal stage
temperature of 150 °C and a ball bonding force of 40 to 50 grams or wedge bonding force of 18 to 22 grams is recommended. Use the minimum level of ultrasonic energy to achieve reliable wirebonds. Wirebonds should be started on
the chip and terminated on the package or substrate. All bonds should be as short as possible
