Thin film transfer process for low cost MCM´s

A highly flexible and cost competitive method to fabricate microelectronic packages that require thin film interconnections is described. The method involves fabricating thin film metal/polymer structures multi-up on a reusable temporary glass carrier and later transferring the thin film stack onto product substrates of choice. The final product substrate can be silicon, co-fired alumina or glass-ceramic, aluminum nitride, diamond or a printed wiring board. Optionally, one can also use the released thin film decal as a flexible high wireability interconnect by itself, as an interposer, or in applications like wafer level testing for known good die (KGD). The thin film wiring structure can be fabricated multi-up on large area glass plates using large format tools to significantly reduce cost
