Abstract

A placement scheme that considers both electrical performance requirements and thermal behavior for the high-performance multichip modules is described in this paper. Practical thermal models are used for placement of high-speed chips in multichip module packages under two different cooling environments: conduction cooling and convection cooling. Placement methods are modified to optimize conventional electrical performance and chip junction temperatures.
