"Quick-Turn MCMs in a 3-D Stack"

    Technology for a 3-D stack of MCMs has been developed to significantly reduce the size of spacecraft systems and subsystems. The critical enhancement offered by the 3-D approach is the integration of a quick-turn, programmable multichip module substrate technology within the MCM stack. This highly integrated electronic packaging concept will support various critical applications such as Command and Data Handling (C&DH), volatile and nonvolatile memory subsystems, and complex science experiments. The programmable substrates will allow rapid, low-cost integration of these custom functions within 3-D stacks in spacecraft, aircraft, or ground vehicles.
