Since publication of the first edition in 1988 many significant
advances have occurred in IC chips that have driven the hybrid
packaging processes toward even higher densities and greater
performance. The almost exponential increase in density,
complexity, and performance of integrated circuits over the past
ten years (for example, ASIC (Application Specific Integrated
Circuit), VHSIC (Very High Speed IC), VLSIC (Very Large Scale IC),
and ULSIC (Ultra Large Scale IC) have driven developments in the
interconnect substrates culminating in what is now known as
multichip modules (MCM). However, the fundamentals of design,
fabrication, and testing of MCMs are essentially the same as for
hybrid microcircuit. In the authors' opinion MCMs are extensions of
hybrid circuits that can accommodate the new generation of
high-speed high-performance chips.
In this revised edition they have therefore expanded their
treatment of hybrid circuits without finding it necessary to change
the fundamentals. They have included a separate chapter on
multichip modules and throughout the book have included new and
emerging materials and processes that are beginning to be used.
Examples include: metal-matrix composites and aluminum nitride as
substrate materials, plastic encapsulated microcircuits and
chip-on-board as low-cost alternatives to hermetic sealed packages,
atmospheric friendly cleaning solvents and methods, and advanced
high I/O density quad flat packages (QFP) and ball grid array (BGA)
packages. Since the first edition, there have also been tremendous
advances in software programs for thermal and electrical analysis
and these are also treated in this new edition.
The abbreviated Table ofContents below includes the chapter
titles and selected sub-headings.
