Presents a treatment that begins with an overview of the electronics design process and proceeds to examine the levels of electronic packaging and the fundamental issues in the development. It is both a handbook for practitioners and a text for use in teaching electronic packaging concepts, guidelines, and techniques.

This practical guide presents and compares the fundamental theories and techniques of placement and routing and provides important new approaches to solving specific problems.;Focusing on highly reliable methods for good manufacturing capability, Placement and Routing of Electronic Modules: discusses the mathematical basis for placement and routing, including set, combinatorial and graph theories; explicates the definitions, structures and relationships of tree types and gives methods of finding minimum trees; furnishes useful techniques for placing and routing high-density modules; supplies...
