Abstract

This is a book about multichip modules (MCMs). And the strategies involved in implementing them successfully! The book discusses the technology alternatives appropriate for MCMs, and the decision-making processes required for choosing the “best” technology for a particular application. The book helps to answer the question: Is the technology applicable (or appropriate) to the design goal?
