Title: Design specifications for manufacturability of MCM-C multichip modules

Conference ·
OSTI ID:414542

A comprehensive guide for ceramic-based multichip modules (MCMS) has been developed by AlliedSignal Federal Manufacturing & Technologies (FM&T) to provide manufacturability information for its customers about how MCM designs can be affected by existing process and equipment capabilities. This guide extends beyond a listing of design rules by providing information about design layout, low- temperature cofired ceramic (LTCC) substrate fabrication, MCM assembly and electrical testing Electrical mechanical packaging, environmental, and producibility issues are reviewed. Examples of three MCM designs are shown in the form of packaging cross-sectional views, LTCC substrate layer allocations, and overall MCM photographs. The guide has proven to be an effective tool for enhancing communications between MCM designers and manufacturers and producing a microcircuit that meets design requirements within the limitations of process capabilities.
