The 1996 IEEE Multi-Chip Module Conference (MCMC) will be held from
February 5--7 in Santa Cruz, California. MCMC is an annual conference
sponsored by the Circuits and Systems Society, the Components, Packaging
and Manufacturing Technology Society, the Computer Society and the
Electron Devices Society of the IEEE. The goal of this conference is to
bring together elements of packaging technology and design, circuits
and systems design, computer-aided design, modeling, analysis and
education. The conference is unique in its multi-disciplinary coverage
of all these aspects of MCMs.
This year's conference reflects recent strong activity in applications
of MCM technology. Increased system performance goals, coupled with
improvements in the costs and infrastructure for MCM technology, have
lead to greater use of the technology in product applications. Of
particular interest, is the increased activity in mixed signal modules.
This year's conference reflects that activity both in our keynote and
technical sessions. In addition, we have strong sessions in MCM design
optimization (making Megachips in MCM technology), Infrastructure issues,
modeling, technology and Computer-Aided Design. An entire session has
also been devoted to flip-chip solder-bump, a technology that is enjoying
enormous interest of late.
This year's conference continues the trend started last year of adding
a poster session to our single track format. The papers selected for
the poster session are of a more specialized nature and, therefore,
have selective appeal. The Program Committee felt that this forum would
permit closer interaction among the presenters and their audience.
The conference program is oriented towards promoting interaction among
professionals in the MCM and related areas, and providing a forum for
presenting and discussing the latest developments, immediate needs and
future MCM trends. The conference will consist of two days of technical
sessions, invited talks, and a poster session, run as a single track so
that everyone may attend the entire program. In addition, February 5
will be a full day of tutorials providing in-depth coverage of
high-interest topics. There will also be exhibits and demonstrations
of state-of-the-art MCM prototypes and products from leading industrial
organizations and MCM CAD tools from universities and CAD vendors.

Tutorials -- Monday, February 5, 1996
--------------------------------------
Tutorial #1 Known Good Die
8:30 -- 5:00 (Grand Ballroom)
Larry Gilg, MCC
Description:
This tutorial will cover the unique aspects of procuring and supplying
high quality bare die for advanced packaged electronic systems. A
thorough introduction to IC test and burn-in, and the issues that
most affect success in bare die use will lead into a discussion of
technologies available (or being developed) for fully conditioning
bare die. Emerging standards, including the all-important standards
being developed for die information will be covered. Cost implications
of differing test and burn-in strategies and technology will be
highlighted. A review of bare die available as Known Good Die, including
a description of the various levels of ``goodness" that die suppliers
are providing today will also be included.
Outline:
Introduction
Standards and Specifications
Known Good Die Assurance Technologies
Die Suppliers
Cost Analysis
MCM test strategies
Much of the material presented will be updated from last year's tutorial
with the progress in the KGD carrier evaluations and qualification activity
at MCC, updates from the SEMATECH low cost KGD project and information
from KGD and chip scale package activities in Europe and Asia.
Tutorial #2 Chip-Size Packaging Developments
8:30 -- Noon (Bay View Room)
Robert Crowley and Thomas Goodman,
TechSearch International, Inc.
Description:
Chip-size package (CSP) technology offers the assembly ease of surface
mount technology (SMT) with the small size and higher electrical
performance of flip chip technology. Chip-size packages are the same
size as the chip or generally no larger than 1.2 times the area of the
IC. In the last year, several companies have introduced new chip-size
packages targeting portable electronics applications. This tutorial
provides an overview of recent developments in this rapidly advancing
field of electronics packaging. The driving forces for CSPs are
discussed to explain the intense interest in this technology. The
alternatives to CSPs, such as ball grid array (BGA) and flip chip,
are analyzed. CSP technology from sixteen companies is presented and
compared. These technologies can be classified by interconnection
technique: flex circuit interposer, rigid substrate interposer, molded
structure, custom lead frame, wafer-level assembly, or TCP technology.
The barriers to CSP adoption are reviewed, including high-density PCB
availability, test socket availability, and contract manufacturer
availability. Tutorial participants will gain insight into the recent
worldwide developments in this field, as well as a better grasp of the
future impact of CSP technology on advanced packaging applications.
Tutorial #3 MCM-V (3-dimensional MCMs)
1:30 -- 5:00 p.m. (Bay View Room)
Peter Ivey and Jon Stern,
University of Sheffield, UK
Description:
Three-dimensional packaging can provide an order of magnitude reduction
in the volume and mass of a system. This is especially important in the
light of the dramatic growth in the portable electronics market. In this
tutorial a number of 3D MCM techniques will be presented and the merits
of each discussed. A detailed description, from applications to design
to manufacture, of MCM-V will be given. This versatile, low-cost,
epoxy-based 3D MCM that produces high density systems, while removing
the necessity for Known Good Die.

Gaithersburg, Md. It is being co-sponsored by NIST and the U.S. Air Force
Rome Laboratory, Rome, N.Y.
The workshop will provide leaders from industry, universities and
government with a forum for the exchange of information and ideas on
problems and solutions to moisture measurement and control in
microelectronics packaging and interconnection. Advancements in the current
state of moisture measurement, modeling, and their impact on the performance
and reliability of materials, devices and assemblies will be documented at
the workshop.
According to workshop organizers, the intrusion of moisture into
microelectronic products is a major problem in the manufacture, performance

U.S. industry respond to the challenges and concerns associated with
moisture in the manufacture and use of semiconductor packages and electronic
interconnects.
Papers are requested on the following topics: moisture effects on polymer
packaging and substrate materials; moisture related device and board-level
performance, failure and reliability; impact of moisture on semiconductor
manufacturing; impact of moisture on board-level manufacture and assembly;
statistical process control and moisture; moisture measurement techniques;
modeling of moisture effects; hermeticity; moisture concerns in modern
hermetic and non-hermetic packaging schemes; and military and aerospace
moisture requirements. Papers on other relevant topics also are being
solicited.
Prospective authors are requested to submit a 100-150 word abstract by
March 1, 1996. The abstract must include the author(s) name, mailing
address, telephone and fax number, and an e-mail address if available. A
notice of acceptance will be mailed by June 1, 1996. Authors of accepted
papers will be required to submit their final paper by Oct. 1, 1996. The
proceedings will be published after the workshop.

IEEE CPMT INFORMATION
Submitted by Paul Wesling:
The Table of Contents for upcoming/current issues of the IEEE Trans.
on Advanced Packaging can be browsed, to see what topics and papers
are being included. For example, the May issue of this quarterly
journal has a special section of six papers on the topic of
optoelectronics packaging, edited by R. Boudreau, and a second section
of 6 papers on Adhesive Joining Technology in Electronics Manufacturing,
edited by J. Morris. There are other sections on flip-chip packaging,
multichip modules, electrical performance modeling, and other topics in
this issue.
To browse the Table of Contents, access the WEB server at
http://www.ieee.org/pub_preview/cpmtb_toc.html
Each quarter, this location will be updated with the next Table of Contents.
For information on subscribing to this quarterly journal (800 pages/year;
about 100 papers), call IEEE (in the USA tollfree at 1-800-678-IEEE) and
ask for publication 021-1651. Subscriptions are $250/year (non-IEEE
members). You may wish to join IEEE (members get substantial discounts);
