摘要:
The present invention is directed to a structure comprising a substrate having a surface; a plurality of elongated electrical conductors extending away from the surface; each of said elongated electrical conductors having a first end affixed to the surface and a second end projecting away from the surface; there being a plurality of second ends; and a means for maintaining the plurality of the second ends in substantially fixed positions with respect to each other. The structure is useful as a probe for testing and burning in integrated circuit chips at the wafer level.

Connectors for electronic devices are described. The connector is formed by ball bonding a plurality of wires to contact locations on a fan out substrate surface. The wires are cut off leaving stubs. A patterned polymer sheet having electrical conductor patterns therein is disposed over the stubs which extend through holes in the sheet. The ends of the wires are flattened to remit the polymer sheet in place. The wire is connected to an electrical conductor on the polymer sheet which is converted to a contact pad on the polymer sheet. A second wire is ball bonded to the pad on the polymer sheet and cut to leave a second stub. The polymer sheet is laser cut so that each second stub is free to move independently of the other second studs. The ends of the second stubs are disposed against contact locations of an electronic device, such as an FC chip, to test the electronic device.

A structure of an enhanced durability interconnector to reliably interconnect modules having high density type contacts, such as found in modules having solder ball connections (SBC), to a connecting article such as a printed circuit board. The structure comprising a means to provide the SBC type contact a mating surface having a wide contact area. Furthermore, the electrical connecting medium within the interconnector, which is embedded in an elastomeric material to provide compliance, is strengthened by using two or more embedded wires in combination for each wide contact area contact. The interconnector is incorporated into a fixture to compress the interconnector between the SBC module and the connecting article. The fixture having further capability to align the connections, control the compression pressure and to prevent over-compression.

The present invention is directed to a new foamed elastomer composition including elastomer, hollow fillers, and reinforced fillers for supporting the conducting wires in the test probes for wafer level testing and burn in and interposer connector applications. The thermally stable elastomer resin is mixed with hollow fillers and reinforced fillers before filling into the probe or connector mold with an array of elongated conducting wires, then is crosslinked by a crosslinking agent and a catalyst. The use of compressible hollow fillers to foam the elastomer has been successful to enhance the compliance and resilience, and to reduce the thermal expansion, density, and dielectric constant of the elastomer.

摘要:
Sealing and stress relief are provided to a low-fracture strength glass-ceramic substrate. Hermeticity is addressed through the use of capture pads in alignment with vias and through polymer overlays with interconnection between the underlying via or pad metallurgy and the device, chip, wire or pin bonded to the surface of the layer. Multilevel structures are taught along with a self-aligned sealing and wiring process.

A layer of zirconium can be used as an adhesion layer between a ceramic or polyimide substrate and subsequently applied metallic layers. Following the zirconium layer, copper can be deposited followed by a reaction barrier layer and a wettable surface layer such as gold. This type of structure can be used for pin bracing, chip joining, and/or wire connections.
