CGHV60040D
40 W, 6.0 GHz, GaN HEMT Die
Description
Cree’s CGHV60040D is a gallium nitride (GaN) High Electron
Mobility Transistor (HEMT). GaN has superior properties compared
to silicon or gallium arsenide, including higher breakdown voltage,
higher saturated electron drift velocity, and higher thermal
conductivity. GaN HEMTs offer greater power density and wider
bandwidths compared to Si and GaAs transistors.

•
Vacuum collet is the preferred method of pick-up
The backside of the die is the Source (ground) contact
Die back side gold plating is 5 microns thick minimum
Thermosonic ball or wedge bonding are the preferred connection methods
Gold wire must be used for connections
Use the die label (XX-YY) for correct orientation
