This prospectus will introduce the Universal Contact Unit (UCU) Technology, a newly
patented technology available for licensing. The UCU Technology™ is an independent
branch of the interconnection technologies tree, but is more close to the Solder Bump
technology family. Like the Solder Bump Flip Chip, the UCU Technology™ is a group
process and uses soldering for chip-substrate interconnection. But the difference is
fundamental.
The UCU Technology™ uses micro-via in thin polyimide film as a contact on substrate
and capillary forces to fill the via with a solder paste during heating. Although the bumps
nominally present in this technology there are no real bumps, but small meniscus only.
It leads to a short time of a bumping process with no impact on the silicon surface. The
use of poyimide film yields to extremely low overstress during heating. The UCU
Technology™ affects critical development in various satellite microelectronics sectors
such as polyimid film production and chip packaging equipment.
Capillary allows use of the UCU™-based technologies for a wide range of applications,
including assembly of multiplayer fine resolution Printed Circuit Boards, both flex and
rigid. The UCU™-based PCB is the best substrate for multi-chip modules.

A small series of single and multi-chip modules based on the UCU Technology™ has
been manufactured and successfully tested:
• The UCU™-MCM technology can combine IC units with arbitrary pad location
patterns, design rules and I/O numbers with a limited footprint.
• The robustness and simplicity of the technology together with fine-pitch
resolution enables the use of chips from different producers without the need for
redesign.
• The multilevel UCU™-based PCB cuts the size of the MCM footprint and
significantly increases the working clock frequency and other electrical features.
• SCM-designed assembly equipment can be used for MCM assembly without any
need for reconfiguration.

II Competitive Landscape
Competitive Advantages / Breakthrough Opportunity
The first silicon integrated circuit (IC) was invented in
1958 by Texas Instruments. The chip-substrate
interconnection by wire bonding experienced a
bottleneck when the global IC manufacturing volume
rose from hundreds of thousands in the 1990’s to
approximately 80 billion in 2009.
As a result, Wire bonding is generally used for a connection of chips with an I/O number
below 400. In addition, gold wire is an expensive material from the economical point of
view.
Another matter under discussion is Wire Bonding reliability during device work cycle. A
high degree of heat and mechanical energy in a light vacuum during welding leads to
high levels of hidden dislocations in silicon die. Two adjacent wires may excite a short.
As a result an MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure) value decreases significantly.
9

o Wire bonding is a sequential process. Thus, very high but limited bonding quality
leads to dramatically high packaging cost increases with pad numbers.
o It is impossible to use Wire bonding for area-array pad location.
o It is very expensive to use Wire Bonding in MCM applications.
o UCU™-based assembly equipment, as opposed to WB equipment, is highly
scalable at a reasonable price.
To solve the connection problem, IBM introduced the “Controlled Collapse Chip
Connection” or C4 in the 1960’s, which considerably increased IC’s I/O number.
10

Additional problems would include:
Impossibility to visually control mutual alignment between the chip and substrate
pads. This requires the use of expensive alignment equipment.
The soldering remains cannot be removed completely. It causes shorts.
So-named underfill is used for better thermo-mechanical features of an
interconnection. Even using underfill, the heating-induced overstress in the layer
between the chip and substrate may lead to chip or connection destruction.
Coarse pitch side
Limited reliability
Expensive manufacturing process
Expensive materials
Because of these problems this Flip Chip technology, even after 35 years, has been
unable to replace the wire bonding connection.
Important SBFC applications are size-driven package families, such as Chip Scale
Packages (CSP) and Wafer Level CSP (WLCSP). UCU Technology™ has better
performance and very attractive cost features for this class of applications.
11

Charts compare the real bumping cost with the good die cost for SBFC and UCU
Technology™ processes. It shows the difference between SBFC and UCU
Technology™ quality, especially on the high-end market.
12

13

The UCU Technology™ is superior to competitive products because it solves all
serious SBFC problems. Unlike current technology, the UCU Technology™ is based
on small meniscus instead of solder bumps. This prevents a bump’s deformation and
the expensive underfill. The UCU Technology™ affects critical development in various
satellite microelectronics sectors such as polyimid film production and chip packaging
equipment.
14
COPYRIGHT 2010 MILLENNIUM MARKETING GROUP, LTD. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
The proposed design of the UCU Technology™ is a starting point of a new trend and
direction in VLSI and MCM assembly and much more promising than Wire Bond and
Flip Chip technology.

IV Product Analysis
28
COPYRIGHT 2010 MILLENNIUM MARKETING GROUP, LTD. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
V Financial Forecast
o The absence of rigid PCB and underfill costs constitutes a major cost advantage
for UCU Technology™ over the Solder Bump Flip Chip on this market. The UCU
Technology™ is expected to win at least $10 per high-end IC device. The cost
savings per high-end packaging foundry (5 million units per year) will be
approximately $50 million per year.
o The development of UCU™-KGD technology will provide foundries with extra
cost-savings and open the road to the widespread use of inexpensive MCM
technology.
o The UCU™-MCM technology will provide additional savings of $5 per device (or
$25 million per year per high-end packaging foundry) thanks to the absence of
the package itself.
29
COPYRIGHT 2010 MILLENNIUM MARKETING GROUP, LTD. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
o The UCU Technology™ offers advantages over both Wire Bonding and Solder
Bump within the pads number range 400-600. Unlike SB, UCU Technology™
can compete with WB on fine-pitch peripheral array applications.
o We expect to win at least $5 per each 400-I/O chip ($0.0125 per pad) over SB.
Based on annual output per packaging foundry of approximately 12 million units,
this means $60 million of savings per year in a rapidly growing market.
o The UCU™-MCM technology will offer an additional $5 in savings per IC device.
30
COPYRIGHT 2010 MILLENNIUM MARKETING GROUP, LTD. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
o The UCU Technology™ offers cost advantages over Wire Bonding within the
pads number range 150-400 due to the cost of the interconnection.
o We expect to win approximately $0.1 per 200-I/O 10x10 mm 2 chip ($0.0005 per
pad). Based on annual output per packaging foundry of approximately 100 million
units, this means $10 million of savings per year.
o The next and key step is the introduction of the high-end UCU™-MCM
technology to this market.
MCM technology enables significant reductions in the size, weight, power consumption
and cost of the system. The embedded systems market (e.g., car electronics) is one of
the major consumers of such systems. A cost evaluation shows that MCM technology
can decrease the total system cost by 40 percent, from $36 to $21 for a typical AMD
Am186-based system.
31
COPYRIGHT 2010 MILLENNIUM MARKETING GROUP, LTD. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
The embedded-systems output exceeds 100 million units per year and the market will
grow rapidly on the heels of a fall in prices. It is clear that MCM has a very important
role to play in the industry.
