PCB Market 4-3<br />

• MCM-D (Deposited)—^Deposited wiring and dielectric on silicon,<br />

ceramic, or metal substrates; uses thin film processes for interconnect<br />

densities of 200 to 400 cm/sq-cm and above; TAB and flipchip<br />

assembly; ciurently in development stages.<br />

E>dstjng PCB companies, such as Mentor Graphics, Cadence, Dazix,<br />

Racal-Redac, and Harris EDA offer MCM layout tools. Tough<br />

<strong>design</strong> issues associated with MCMs, including thennal management,<br />

signal integrity and parasitics, as ^vell as testing issues, will<br />

challenge MCM <strong>design</strong> tool suppliers to provide innovative solutions<br />

to difficult <strong>design</strong> issues.<br />

Shipments<br />

Japanese <strong>design</strong>ers may not place a great deal of importance on<br />

PCB layout tools, but Asia as a region continues to grow in its<br />

consumption of PCB/MCM/hybrid tools. In 1991, Asia consumed<br />

46 percent of these tools, up from 39 percent just one year ago, as<br />

shown in Table 4-1 and Figure 4-3. Dataquest anticipates that this<br />

trend will continue as more <strong>electronic</strong> <strong>design</strong> and manufacture<br />

continues to shift eastward.<br />

Market Share<br />

As Asia continues to grow in its coiisumption of PCB tools, Zuuken,<br />

a Japanese supplier of PCB software, has climbed its way to becoming<br />

the largest supplier of PCB software, as shown in Tables 4-2<br />

and 4-3. It is important to note, however, that Zuken's sales are<br />
