Abstract
Aspects of electronic packaging for mainframe applications are reviewed. A new generation of microwiring boards has been introduced, based on Cu/polymer layers on a polyimide base or metal/polymer layers on a multilayer ceramic or silicon base for high-end technologies. Advanced multilayer printed circuit boards will fulfil the requirements for low-end applications for the late 90s. In order to satisfy the desired reduction in line delay by packaging components on both sides of large-size wiring substrates, wiring technology is being challenged by miniaturized line structures and increased wiring density. High circuit integration, associated with revolutionary developments in device technology, reduction in chip-feature size, and a packaging technology based on multichip modules, has led to a significant increase in power dissipation and related flux. >

Multiobjective optimal placement of convectively cooled electronic components on printed wiring boards

TL;DR: In this paper, a solution methodology for multiobjective optimization problems in the context of models for the placement of components on printed wiring boards (PWB's) is presented, which combines the use of a flow and heat transfer solver, a genetic algorithm for the adaptive search of optimal or near-optimal solutions, and a multi objective optimization strategy [Pareto optimization or multiattribute utility analysis (MUA)].
