Simultaneous switching noise (SSN) induced by CMOS output buffers is a serious issue in multichip modules as well as single-chip packages to ensure stable operation and to derive inherent speed performance. Multichip modules are expected to have smaller switching noise level than the case of single-chip packages by removing a first-level package and its parasitics. This paper reports the measurement results of switching noises for different types of MCMs using a switching noise generating chip. Two types of test vehicles were fabricated and measurement results were compared. Noise distribution on a ground plane was also measured.","PeriodicalId":223500,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1995 IEEE Multi-Chip Module Conference (MCMC-95)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131993961","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Laser drilling is one of the most promising among all small via generation technologies. However, historically laser processing has been viewed as an expensive and slow process. We recently reported a cost effective small via drilling process based on a modified TEA CO/sub 2/ laser. The field test showed the process was reliable and cost effective. The new results from more in-depth experiments are presented in this paper along with the comparison among various laser drilling technologies.","PeriodicalId":223500,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1995 IEEE Multi-Chip Module Conference (MCMC-95)","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116712063","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The method combines indirect numerical integration with the open-loop device model for distributed lines. The optimal method results in maximum efficiency, accuracy and practical applicability for the transient analysis of digital circuits. The optimal line model can be directly used in a circuit simulator, and lines can be characterized with frequency- or time-domain data samples. The efficiency of the optimal method makes possible an accurate simulation of real circuits, containing thousands of multiconductor nonuniform frequency-dependent lines and nonlinear active devices, with virtually no increase in the simulation time compared to that for the simple replacement of interconnects with lumped resistors.","PeriodicalId":223500,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1995 IEEE Multi-Chip Module Conference (MCMC-95)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126851526","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
