8.1 What Are Multichip Modules?
A single unit (package) containing two or more chips and an interconnection substrate which function together as a system building block.
Classification Requirements Ac ≥ 0.5 As
Ac is the area of the semiconductor or chip.
As is the area of the substrate (package or carrier)

Advantages Chips spaced more closely. Reduced volume and weight.
Applications Aerospace Medical Consumer Portable Supercomputers
![Page 7: FUNDAMENTALS OF MULTICHIP PACKAGING Adeel Baig Jason Shin.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d585503460f94a3725b/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
8.2 Multichip Module Functionality
For a highly functional MCM, the following criteria must be satisfied:
Chip to chip spacing must be held to a minimum.
The MCM must provide a means of thermal management to limit the junction temperature of the semiconductor chips to less than 85 - 100°C.
The MCM must provide reliable I/O connections to the next level of assembly.
The MCM must provide protection from the environment.

8.3 Multichip Module Advantages
Higher packaging efficiency.
Better electrical performance.
Greater reliability.
Potential for lower cost.
![Page 10: FUNDAMENTALS OF MULTICHIP PACKAGING Adeel Baig Jason Shin.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d585503460f94a3725b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
8.3.1 Packaging Efficiency
Packaging efficiency is the ratio of the area of all the base chips to the area of the MCM substrate.
Single chip package efficiency is between 10 – 50%.
MCM package efficiency is around 80%.
![Page 11: FUNDAMENTALS OF MULTICHIP PACKAGING Adeel Baig Jason Shin.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d585503460f94a3725b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

8.3.2 Electrical Performance
MCM performance can be measured by functional throughput rate (FTR). FTR is the product of the number of gates per module times the
maximum clock rate of such gates. Maximum clock rate is 0.25tD where tD is the delay associated
with the typical gate.
Another measure of performance is MIPS. Number of MIPS = 103 / [(cycle time) X (cycles per instructions)]
Other measures include clock speed, operation frequency, and power dissipation.
![Page 13: FUNDAMENTALS OF MULTICHIP PACKAGING Adeel Baig Jason Shin.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d585503460f94a3725b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
8.3.3 Reliability
Three different areas: Design for reliability with a minimum number of
connections.
Construct the module using six-sigma manufacturing processes.
Perform accelerated and other screening tests on the MCM to remove defect-induced failures before the product is shipped to the consumer.
![Page 14: FUNDAMENTALS OF MULTICHIP PACKAGING Adeel Baig Jason Shin.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d585503460f94a3725b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
8.3.4 Cost
Cost is expected to be lower than the alternative single chip package implementation.
Reduction of the number of interconnects and minimized substrate area and system volume.
Cost per unit area is higher, but the overall size is smaller.
![Page 15: FUNDAMENTALS OF MULTICHIP PACKAGING Adeel Baig Jason Shin.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d585503460f94a3725b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
8.4 Multichip Modules at the System Level
![Page 16: FUNDAMENTALS OF MULTICHIP PACKAGING Adeel Baig Jason Shin.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d585503460f94a3725b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
8.4.1 Electrical Design
Considerations Signal paths must be short with controlled
impedances and low loss.
Deviations from design specifications can result in crosstalk, increased delays, and distorted signal waveforms.
Must address dielectric constant, signal line geometries, interline spacing, and the distribution and location of power and ground.
![Page 17: FUNDAMENTALS OF MULTICHIP PACKAGING Adeel Baig Jason Shin.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d585503460f94a3725b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
8.4.2 Sealing and Encapsulation
MCMs are either hermetically sealed in ceramic or metal packages or they are encapsulated.
Hermetic sealing or encapsulation of the MCM is important and can contribute to module reliability.
Encapsulants need to be reworkable for high value MCMs. Encapsulant must be easy to remove.
![Page 18: FUNDAMENTALS OF MULTICHIP PACKAGING Adeel Baig Jason Shin.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d585503460f94a3725b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
8.4.3 Heat Removal
Module power dissipations have risen from a few Watts per module to 30-180 Watts per module.
ICs must be maintained at 100°C or below.
![Page 19: FUNDAMENTALS OF MULTICHIP PACKAGING Adeel Baig Jason Shin.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d585503460f94a3725b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
8.4.3 Heat Removal
Substrate aids in the heat removal process. Actual thermal transfer depends on how the
chips are interconnected to the substrate. Three methods of interconnect:
Wirebonding Flip Chip Tape Automated Bonding (TAB)
![Page 20: FUNDAMENTALS OF MULTICHIP PACKAGING Adeel Baig Jason Shin.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d585503460f94a3725b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

8.4.4 Electrical Interconnections
Flip Chip Can effect the highest number of interconnects per
unit area. All interconnects are contained within the chip area. Extremely low capacitance and inductance per joint. Most robust replacement process.
![Page 24: FUNDAMENTALS OF MULTICHIP PACKAGING Adeel Baig Jason Shin.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d585503460f94a3725b/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
8.4.7 Electrical Testing
Different Levels of Testing Substrates must be defect free prior to assembly.
Verify that all networks are connected appropriately. Visual inspection.
After assembly, MCM must be electrically tested to ensure that the module is working.
Device must be encapsulated and environmentally stressed.
In an MCM, if one die fails, the whole module fails.
