If the IC is damaged during soldering / reflow, it's possible that this is caused by moisture inside the device rapidly expanding due to the high temperature of the reflow machine.
HMC661 is rated Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 3, which means that the IC must be soldered or reflowed with 168 hours of opening the sealed bag. The ICs must be baked to remove moisture if the bag is open for more than 168 hours.
