Multichip module

Patent Pending A multi-chip module (MCM) is generically an electronic assembly (such as a package with a number of conductor terminals or ``pins") where multiple integrated circuits (ICs), semiconductor dies and/or other discrete components are integrated, usually onto a unifying substrate, so that in use it is treated as if it were a single component (as though a larger IC). Other terms, such as "hybrid" or Hybrid integrated circuit, also refer to MCMs.
