Abstract:
1. A method for assembling a multi-chip module (MCM), comprising: positioning a first semiconductor die into a first negative feature in an alignment plate in the MCM, wherein positioning the first semiconductor die comprises coupling the first semiconductor die to a base plate using first coupling elements; positioning a second semiconductor die into a second negative feature in the alignment plate, wherein positioning the second semiconductor die comprises coupling the second semiconductor die to the base plate using second coupling elements; coupling the first semiconductor die to the second semiconductor die using third coupling elements, wherein at least one of the first, second, or third coupling elements facilitate aligning proximity connectors proximate to a first surface of the first semiconductor die with proximity connectors proximate to a second surface of the second semiconductor die; coupling an interposer plate to the alignment plate, wherein the interposer plate includes connectors to couple signals from a top surface of the interposer plate to a bottom surface of the interposer plate; coupling a top plate to the top surface of the interposer plate, wherein the top plate couples signals from connectors in a top surface of the top plate to the connectors in the top surface of the interposer plate; and coupling a compression lid to the top plate and the alignment plate, wherein the compression lid provides clamping force to hold the top plate coupled to the alignment plate.
