High Performance Aerospace Multichip Module Technology Development at Hughes

  • Chapter
Multichip Module Technologies and Alternatives: The Basics

Abstract

Technology development occurs only when needs are recognized and financial support is applied to focus the necessary personnel and materials. Much recent progress in the development of multichip modules (MCMs) can be attributed to efforts supported by aerospace industries. These industries were among the first to recognize that semiconductor device complexity was beginning to outstrip an engineer’s ability to ensure effective intercommunication between chips in a system and among chip clusters.
