Abstract

Thin-film multichip modules (i.e. MCM-D) can provide simple, low-cost packaging and interconnect options for interconnecting high-density, high-performance devices. The following is an overview of an MCM-D technology that can be implemented on top of several substrate materials. Tradeoffs will be discussed related to using different substrate materials and the corresponding implications from the assembly point of view. The MCM-D manufacturing process is reviewed and the subsequent reliability results are discussed.
