Compared to conventional packaging, multichip modules have significantly reduced capacitive loading in their interconnections. The authors present experimental results showing the performance of I/O buffers specially designed to operate in this environment, evaluated in several different silicon-on-silicon test modules.<<ETX>>

TLDR
It is pointed out that dramatic increases in the level of integration available on a single chip have led to significant changes in thinking about the role of advanced packaging in systems, and some of the performance trade-offs of an alternative, low-cost substrate are examined.

TLDR
An optimum exists which can be considered the best compromise between further decreasing propagation delay and increasing chip area which allows a designer to determine the minimum chip area once the capacitive load and the maximum allowable delay are known.
