Advantages of MCMs over traditional packaging methods for electronic-based applications in computers, aviation, and the military. Introduction to Multichip Modules discusses both custom built MCMs and programmable MCMs and their role in reducing cost and improving turnaround time. An invaluable resource for students and professionals in electrical engineering who design MCMs and MCM-based systems, and for those in computer science who develop CAD tools for MCMs, this.

Far from being the passive containers for semiconductor devices of the past, the packages in today's high performance computers pose numerous challenges in interconnecting, powering, cooling and protecting devices. While semiconductor circuit performance measured in picoseconds continues to improve, computer performance is expected to be in nanoseconds for the rest of this century -a factor of 1000 difference between on-chip and off-chip performance which is attributable to losses associated with the package. Thus the package, which interconnects all the chips to form a particular function such as a central processor, is likely to set the limits on how far computers can evolve. Multichip packaging, which can relax these limits and also improve the reliability and cost at the systems level, is expected to be the basis of all advanced computers in the future. In addition, since this technology allows chips to be spaced more closely, in less space and with less weight, it has the added advantage of being useful in portable consumer electronics as well as in medical, aerospace, automotive and telecommunications products. The multichip technologies with which these applications can be addressed are many. They range from ceramics to polymer-metal thin films to printed wiring boards for interconnections; flip chip, TAB or wire bond for chip-to-substrate connections; and air or water cooling for the removal of heat.
Multichip Modules
Multichip Module (MCM) technology has been used in high-end systems, such as mainframe and supercomputers as well as military and space applications for some time. Rapid advances in VLSI technology and novel system architecture concepts have presented both challenges and opportunities for MCM technologists. Recent developments in MCM technology indicate that it will eventually take over much of the electronic packaging currently using printed circuit boards. This collection of articles gives an in-depth study of the state-of-the-art of MCM technology from systems, CAD and technology viewpoints. Written by outstanding experts in their fields, this volume should be considered essential reading.
