Beam Lead PIN Diode

Model: NDGD044002

The NDGD044002 combines a 60 V reverse rating, 0.022 pF typical capacitance at 10 V, and 3.0 Ω typical resistance at 10 mA with silicon variants for different microwave circuit priorities. Gold beam leads attach to rigid dielectric substrates by thermocompression or conductive epoxy, with evaluation samples and batch ordering available through neditek. This low-parasitic chip serves microwave switches and attenuators from DC to 20 GHz within stated power limits.

Silicon beam lead chips for low- and medium-power switches and attenuators from DC to 20 GHz.

NDGD044 Variant Selection

The NDGD044002 balances a 60 V reverse rating with 0.022 pF typical junction capacitance at 10 V and 3.0 Ω typical series resistance at 10 mA. Its 830 × 250 × 80 µm (0.0327 × 0.00984 × 0.00315 in) chip fits compact microwave layouts.

For a lower resistance target, NDGD044001 measures 1.9 Ω typical at the same 10 mA and 500 MHz test point, with 0.055 pF typical capacitance at 10 V. NDGD044003 raises the reverse rating to 100 V and has 0.020 pF typical capacitance at 40 V; its series resistance is specified at 50 mA. NDGD044004 also reaches 100 V and 0.017 pF typical at 10 V, measured at 10 GHz, while its 450 ns carrier lifetime shifts the speed tradeoff. Bias and frequency differ across some of these published values, so the test conditions govern direct comparisons.

Assembly and Ordering for Beam Lead Chips

NDGD044002 uses gold beam leads that can be attached by thermocompression or conductive epoxy. A rigid dielectric substrate supports the chip during placement, and trained manual handling protects the narrow beams. The gold beam is also the heat path, so bonding quality affects both electrical contact and heat removal.

neditek supplies evaluation samples in an ESD-safe carrier and batch lots beginning at 100 chips. Samples are available on a paid basis with a 5–7 working day dispatch target. Batch orders have a 3–4 week lead time after order confirmation, with international air courier shipping. The part number, required quantity, substrate, attachment method and RF bias conditions can be sent in the inquiry form for a targeted quotation.

How Beam Leads Affect Microwave Switches

A PIN diode changes its RF impedance with bias. Forward current injects carriers into the intrinsic region and lowers series resistance; reverse bias removes the conductive path and leaves a small junction capacitance. In a series switch, that balance influences insertion loss and off-state isolation. Shunt arrangements use the two states differently, and the surrounding bias network contributes to the final circuit result.

The beam lead format avoids a separate wire bond and reduces lead parasitics in microstrip and stripline assemblies. This chip family is specified for low- and medium-power switching from DC to 20 GHz. Its maximum dissipation is 250 mW at 25 °C (77 °F), with linear derating above that point to zero at 175 °C (347 °F). Operating temperature is −65 to +150 °C (−85 to +302 °F).
