ON THE COVER: Microelectronics Packaging and Integration. (left) Schematic cross section of a typical power package for an adjustable-speed motor drive or rf power amplifier (not to scale), and a high-magnification optical photograph of a polished cross section through a commercially available module. (upper right and background cover) Scanning electron microscopy images of an array of S-shaped compliant metal leads fabricated above a polymer film embedded with highly compressible air gaps. (center right) An 84-pin ceramic package showing mounted arrays. (lower right) Wire-bond interconnects. See the technical theme that begins on p. 11.
