It includes the design of an experiment and statistical analysis of the outputs. The most significant factors are found to be, from most to least important, the length of the area where the device and the substrate overlap (referred to as conductor overlap), the bump diameter and the width of the coplanar waveguide transmission line launch. These results are valid for conductor overlaps between 300 and 500 /spl mu/m. For a lower overlap value (120 /spl mu/m), the bump height also becomes significant. The substrate thickness in the 10 to 25 mil interval is found to be statistically insignificant, and therefore can be eliminated from further analysis.","PeriodicalId":299335,"journal":{"name":"IEEE 8th Topical Meeting on Electrical Performance of Electronic Packaging (Cat.

Modern radio frequency (RF) systems including radar/electronically scanned arrays are electronic systems in which MCMs are beginning to be applied. Conventional radars/RF systems generally have been operated at frequencies of about 220 MHz to 94 GHz, a spread of over eight octaves. The development of monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) and application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) semiconductor technology has given rise to wider spread usage of analog and mixed mode (analog and digital) MCM designs within the major segments of the RF system. The challenge to MCM design is the incorporation of passive and active RF and DC components within a single MCM and the relationship between the materials, mechanical design and electrical performance of the MCM. As microwave semiconductor technology continues to evolve, so shall the demand on all aspects of analog and mixed mode MCMs.","PeriodicalId":299335,"journal":{"name":"IEEE 8th Topical Meeting on Electrical Performance of Electronic Packaging (Cat.

The total noise is composed of coupling noise and the switching or delta-i noise. These noise sources are evaluated for all MCM and board nets to ensure coverage is not compromised. The noise verification process has been developed within IBM's S/390 division over several generations of technology and machine designs (Rude, 1994; Venkatachalam et al, 1993; Smith and Katopis, 1996). It is intended to provide a bounding calculation of total noise and identify nets which exceed their design limits for subsequent rerouting. Bounding calculation accuracy is a function of the resolution of deterministic parameters such as physical layouts and statistical variations such as switching time uncertainty. There are several packaging components which must be characterized before system level noise analysis can be performed on the interconnects. The packaging components are the MCM, its board, the memory cards, and the complex connector structures used at the package interfaces. The glass-ceramic MCM contains 20 plane pairs of wiring in ceramic and one plane pair of wiring in thin film. The board has six plane pairs of wiring. The memory cards have five plane pairs of wiring. This paper addresses noise checking across the three levels of packaging which include the on-MCM nets as well as signals from chips on the MCM to chips on the memory card through the board.","PeriodicalId":299335,"journal":{"name":"IEEE 8th Topical Meeting on Electrical Performance of Electronic Packaging (Cat.

The resulting models are intended for use in time-domain circuit simulators to assess the effects of material nonlinearity on the electrical performance of such components as discrete, on-substrate and on-chip de-coupling capacitors. A 3D electrostatic field solver is modified to take into account the nonlinear field dependence of the dielectric material and is employed to calculate the Q-V curve for any capacitive structure. Subsequently, a time integration method (similar to that used in SPICE) is utilized to devise an appropriate time-stepping algorithm for the current-charge relationship of a nonlinear capacitor that can be used to simulate the time-domain electrical characteristics of such passive components. Sample results are also provided to illustrate the methodology.","PeriodicalId":299335,"journal":{"name":"IEEE 8th Topical Meeting on Electrical Performance of Electronic Packaging (Cat.
