Description
This series of Skyworks GaAs Schottky barrier flip-chip diodes
produces excellent high-frequency performance up to millimeter
wave ranges in a mechanically robust, small form factor.
These diodes are comprised of single junction devices (DMK2790
series) and antiparallel pairs (DMK2308 series). These products
offer very low series resistance and capacitance typically
available only in beam-lead devices but without the fragility of
beam leads. The DMK2308 antiparallel pairs are suitable for use
in subharmonically pumped mixers or in limiting circuits.
These diodes are designed to be mounted on hard or soft
substrate PCBs with conductive epoxy or solder.
Typical applications include mixers or detectors in point-to-point
millimeter-wave radios, collision-avoidance automotive radars,
and adaptive cruise-control radar systems.

Exposure to maximum rating conditions for extended periods may reduce device reliability. There is no damage to device with only one parameter set at the limit and all other
parameters set at or below their nominal value. Exceeding any of the limits listed here may result in permanent damage to the device.
CAUTION:
Although this device is designed to be as robust as possible, Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage this device. This device
must be protected at all times from ESD. Static charges may easily produce potentials of several kilovolts on the human body
or equipment, which can discharge without detection. Industry-standard ESD precautions should be used at all times. The
DMK2790 series and DMK2308 series are Class 0 ESD devices.

The Epoxy Die Attach Process for GaAs Flip-
Chips
Epoxy Material.
Microelectronic grade conductive epoxy. For
attachment to soft boards, a stress absorbent conductive epoxy
must be used to produce a consistent process and reliable bond.
Cleanness.
Flexible or hard substrates must be clean and free of
contaminants before epoxy die attachment takes place.
Epoxy Dispensing.
Dispense epoxy dot size, approximately
0.008 inch, and a bondlike thickness of approximately 0.001 inch,
between die and substrate. See illustration below:
Die Attachment.
Flip the device, aligning bond pads to dispensed
dots, using an even force of approximately 15 to 30 grams. See
illustration below:
Epoxy Curing.
Cure per manufacturer’s recommendations.
10 Mil Gap
Attachment Quality.
The strength of the die attachment can be
verified by stressing the attachment joint to failure, using a die
shear test on a sample base. Increase the force of the shear test
equipment on the die until the component pops from the surface
of the circuit, recording a gram force value at the time of the
fracture from the substrate.
The value for pass or fail criteria is based on the contact bond pad
size of the die and compared against military standard
requirements.
