World Abstracts on Mieroelectronies and Reliability superior to those of a plain surface, resulting in a substantial decrease in both the temperature overshoot and the incipient boiling heat flux. For the enhanced surfaces, subcooling generally resulted in an increase in incipient boiling heat flux when compared with the saturated conditions. Overall, this heat sink surface shows potential for use in the next generation of silicon multichip packaging for integrated microelectronics. Overview of packaging for the IBM enterprise system/9000 based on the glass-ceramic copper/thin film thermal conduction module. RAO R. TUMMALA and SHAKILAHMED. IEEE Transactions on Components, Hybrids, and Manufacturing Technology, 15(4), 426 (1992). The ES/9000 models 820 and 900 high performance mainframe processors have been significantly enhanced with respect to their predecessors. This has been made possible by a number of packaging advances: (1) multilayer glass-ceramic/copper cofired substrate; (2) multilayer polyimide/copper thin film structure; (3) discrete decoupling capacitors; (4) "buried" engineering change conductors; (5) enhanced pistons for very high thermal conduction cooling; and (6) enhanced flip-chip solder connections, This paper will describe some aspects of these advances in an overview fashion. It also summarizes the connectors and printed wiring board technologies used in this family of systems.

operating temperature is acceptably low. Thermal analysis yields the packing limit of SOl MOSFET devices in terms of the targeted channel-to-substrate thermal conductance. Thermal conduction is microscale if it is significantly reduced by the boundary scattering of heat carriers, phonons in silicon and electrons in aluminum. Microscale effects are negligible above room temperature, but may reduce the packing limit by 44% for a substrate temperature of 77 K. Characterization and modelling of packages by a time-domain reflectometry approach. Luc VAN HAUWERMEIRENet al. IEEE Transactions on Components, Hybrids, and Manufacturing Technology, 15(4), 478 (1992). In this paper, we present an approach offering the possibility of characterizing different types of packages. The types that will be discussed are plastic leadless chip carrier (PLLCC), ceramic leadless chip carrier (CLLCC), pin grid array (PGA), and flat pack; all of which have a high I/O lead count. The characteristics of a signal pin (track inside the package) and the coupling between neighboring pins for different configurations is determined in the time domain by a time-domain reflectometry approach.
