Hello All,
     I'm trying to find the cause for blowing GaAS Ka-Band MMIC power
amplifier
     in our hybrid assembly process. One of the most suspicious process is
auto
     ball bonding, Hughes model 2460-IV. My question is What is the
possibility
     of the EFO from the ball bonder can zap the MMIC?

     Thanks in advance,
     Kiet Dang
