Abstract

Chip-on-Board technology (COB), or the currently more often used MCM-L acronym (MultiChip Module - Laminate), has long been touted as the low cost, high density electronics packaging choice of the future. Unfortunately, poor reliability performance in comparison to traditional plastic packaging, has been a trademark of COB/MCM-L. Recent advances in processes and materials for COB/MCM-L are providing a paradigm shift in reliability, and providing cost effective high reliability packaging solutions for COB/MCM-L. This paper examines the history of recent advances in liquid encapsulated COB/MCM-L and provides guidelines for selecting appropriate materials and processes for their successful implementation into cost effective manufacturing.
