Applications
This diode is suitable for medium-low barrier, zero bias detector applications. The
HSCH-916x is functional through W–band (110 GHz) and can be mounted in microstrip,
finline, and coplanar circuits.
Assembly Techniques
Diodes are ESD sensitive. ESD preventive measures must be employed in all aspects of
storage, handling, and assembly. Diode ESD precautions, handling considerations, and
bonding methods are critical factors in successful diode performance and reliability.
