Motorola MCM/S ASEM foundry

Abstract

The problem of size, weight and cost is of major concern as more and more functionality is required for increasingly sophisticated tasks. Multichip Modules (MCMs) can help to alleviate these problems by providing a solution through advanced packaging technology. Motorola continually strives to update and automate its manufacturing capabilities to remain a world class manufacturing facility. Motorola's initiatives of cycle time reduction and six sigma quality are part of the process in which problems are solved. Motorola provides the customer with all the tools and technology to produce MCMs to meet the customers need. Although there are multiple steps in the production of an MCM, from system design to assembly and test, Motorola allows the customer to enter the process at any point. To assist the customer, Motorola is developing Design Kits which allow the customer to design MCMs utilizing Motorola design rules and guidelines. This saves time and cost and provides a consistent platform and increased reliability. Motorola's extensive design capability also provides system level design and simulation, electrical design and software applications.<>
