Abstract
This paper presents a cost-based assessment of the effectiveness of Sm art Substrate MCM Systems. A Smart Substrate MCM System is one in whic h the substrate contains active circuitry for carrying out testing fun ctions, The feasibility of using this approach is investigated. The Sm art Substrate strategy is compared to an alternative approach based on the assumption that system components are perfect (''Known Good Die ( KGD)'' approach). The obtained results identify the domain of applicab ility of Smart substrate MCMs and point to limitations of the KGD appr oach.
