The use of multichip module technology for power electronics miniaturization and packaging

This paper describes the design and fabrication of a highly integrated, intelligent, integral horsepower, three-phase induction motor drive based on multichip module (MCM) technology. This solid-state controller-known as a multichip power module (MCPM)-uses known good die to obtain minimal footprint, volume, and mass, while maximizing efficiency, reliability, and manufacturability.
