Abstract :
The author examines some aspects of the Westinghouse WSI (wafer scale integration) development effort. The status of device production efforts is summarized, important packaging-oriented practical issues are discussed, and a particular approach to WSI packaging is presented. Some critical issues associated with overall circuit density, power distribution, signal connections, and heat removal are identified
