Wafer Scale Integration

This book, the first to deal wholly with the topic of wafer scale integration, is the edited proceedings of a workshop held at the University of Southampton in July 1985. As the first international meeting held on this subject it attracted many participants from Europe and the United States. The meeting was particularly timely as there has recently been a renewed interest in research and commercial exploitation of wafer scale integration. The papers presented in the book cover the whole range of topics important in wafer scale integration, beginning with a critical review of fault-tolerant chips and wafer scale integration. Sections on general problems and interconnection strategies follow. There are then six papaers on architectures and four on restructurable very large scale integration. The book concludes with three reviews of different aspects of testability.
