Fast and flexible development of multichip modules for space and other high-reliability applications

Pico Systems, Inc. And NASA-Goddard Space Flight Center have been working together to determine the viability of Pico's programmable multichip module (MCM) substrate for use in space and high reliability applications. This paper will describe the technology Pico has developed, how it is relevant to high reliability applications, the results of the testing performed, and examples of how Pico's substrates have been used in high reliability applications.
