Abstract: According to the invention a socket is provided for removably connecting a first electronic component (304) to a second electronic component (302). The socket comprises a plurality of elongate, resilient contact structures (320) extending away from a first surface (310a) of a support substrate (310), contact regions (320b) of said elongate, resilient contact structures (320) deflecting to form pressure connections with terminals (308) of the first electronic component (304); and a plurality of contact structures (314) disposed on the opposing surface (310b) of the support substrate (310), the plurality of contact structures permanently connected to terminals of the second electronic component (302), selected ones of the contact structures (314) are connected through the support substrate (310) to selected ones of the elongate, resilient contact structures (320). Each of the plurality of elongate contact structures of the socket comprises an elongate element (122) of a first material; and a second material (124) deposited on the first material, wherein the second material has a yield strength that is greater than a yield strength of the first material. Further a method for removably connecting a first electronic component (304) to a second electronic component (302) is provided.

Abstract: A probe card (321) is provided for contacting an electronic component with raised contact elements. In particular, the present invention is useful for contacting a semiconductor wafer (310) with resilient contact elements (301), such as springs. A probe card (321) is designed to have terminals to mate with the contact elements on the wafer (310). In a preferred embodiment, the terminals are posts. In a preferred embodiment the terminals include a contact material suitable for repeated contacts. In one particularly preferred embodiment, a space transformer (324) is prepared with contact posts on one side and terminals on the opposing side. An interposer (325) with spring contacts (333, 334) connects a contact (335) on the opposing side of the space transformer (324) to a corresponding terminal (332) on a probe card (321), which terminal (332) is in turn connected to a terminal (331) which is connectable to a test device such as a conventional tester.

Abstract: A method of forming an interconnection, including a spring contact element, by lithographic techniques. The method comprises successively patterning a first and a second layer of masking material (125, 140) over a substrate (105), each layer of masking material having an opening; depositing a first conductive material (130) after patterning said first layer of masking material and depositing a second conductive material (145) after patterning said second layer of making material to form an electromechanical contact element having: a first portion (130) formed in an opening in said first masking material layer (125) and a second portion (145) coupled to the first portion and formed in an opening in said second masking material layer (140); and removing the plurality of layers of masking material.
