Abstract

Multilayer ceramics (MLC) technology is the basis for several major products today, which include capacitors and packages for integrated circuits. This technology was originally developed to produce miniature capacitors for the micromodule program. When these goals were achieved, new applications in packaging were found. The MLC technology is now the building block in IBM's medium and large computers. The current state of this technology will be described. It's advancement will require improved understanding of the sciences involved in each of the process steps. Several of these technical areas will be discus-ed, particularly the relationships among the electrical properties of the materials and the performance of the package. As the dimensions become smaller, more concern will have to be shown for the defect levels. This implies improved control of material preparation and processing.
