Abstract
Electrical Engineering Advanced Electronic Packaging With Emphasis on Multichip Modules Packaging is rapidly becoming an area of microelectronics technology that can limit the operating speed on an integrated circuit. To address this concern, much research and development attention now focuses on packaging in an effort to prevent it from impeding the speed of electronic systems. With Advanced Electronic Packaging, readers can learn about the full range of packaging concepts, from the introductory to the advanced level, and gain a deeper understanding of this rapidly growing area of microelectronics. An excellent desk reference for practicing engineers or an ideal text for students in interdisciplinary engineering classes, this comprehensive book discusses all aspects of the sciences and technologies involved in the packaging of integrated circuits, specifically, multichip modules (MCMs). In addition, you will find industrial case studies for several MCM technologies along with an assessment of design trade offs. Also addressed are the critical role of economics and future trends in electronic packaging.
