Tape automated bonded chip on MCM-D

Abstract

Tape automated bonding (TAB) is an integrated circuit (IC) chip-level interconnect technology. An in-depth overview of TAB chip on board technology and related applications is presented. Key considerations of design, materials, assembly, and equipment for TAB chip on multichip module (MCM)-D are discussed in detail. The issues, pros and cons, problems and solutions, and guidelines are provided to examine a variety of applications. Examples of both face-up and flipped TAB chip on MCM-D applications are presented and discussed. Future trends of TAB technology are also discussed.<>
