Abstract

The present invention provides a multi-chip module having multiple compartments. Circuitry is arranged on a substrate in such a manner that circuit components requiring specific operating environments are located in discrete areas dedicated to accommodate the circuit components. A cover, having multiple chambers that align with the discrete areas on the substrate, is secured to the substrate to define the multiple compartments. The compartments are separated by material that effectively isolates the compartments relative to one another.
