Multi Chip Modules for Downhole Equipment

摘要

An electronic assembly for use in a downhole module may include a multilayer ceramic assembly and an electronic component disposed on the multilayer ceramic assembly. The multilayer ceramic assembly includes a ceramic substrate, a nickel plating layer disposed on the ceramic substrate and a gold plating layer having a thickness of less than about 0.5 microns disposed on the nickel plating layer. A wirebond such as an aluminum wirebond extends between the electronic component and the gold plating layer.
