摘要:
Flexible leads for making electrical connection in microelectronic components include a frangible intermediate section. The frangible intermediate section is formed by a region within the lead having weakened mechanical integrity. The frangible intermediate section is made by providing a sacrificial metal layer and forming a projection on the surface of the metal layer from a portion thereof. Lead forming material is deposited onto the surface of the sacrificial metal layer and over the projection. A dielectric layer is formed on the surface of the lead forming material. Upon removing the sacrificial metal layer, a frangible intermediate section is formed within the lead forming material at the location of the projection.
摘要:
A structure including a conductive, preferably metallic conductive layer is provided with leads on a bottom surface. The leads have fixed ends permanently attached to the structure and free ends detachable from the structure. The structure is engaged with a microelectronic element such as a semiconductor chip or wafer, the free ends of the leads are bonded to the microelectronic element, and the leads are bent by moving the structure relative to the microelectronic element. Portions of the conductive layer are removed, leaving residual portions of the conductive layer as separate electrical terminals connected to at least some of the leads. The conductive layer mechanically stabilizes the structure before bonding, and facilitates precise registration of the leads with the microelectronic element. After the conductive layer is converted to separate terminals, it does not impair free movement of the terminals relative to the microelectronic element.

A substantially continuous layer of a first metal such as copper is provided with strips of a second metal such as gold by selective electroplating of the second metal. A dielectric support layer is provided in contact with the first metal layer, and the first metal layer is etched to leave strips of the first metal contiguous with the strips of the second metal, thereby providing composite leads with the first and second metal strips connected in series. The process provides simple end economical methods of making microelectronic connection components with leads having a flexible, fatigue resistant lead potion formed from a precious metal.

A microelectronic connection component has flexible leads formed by polymeric strips with metallic conductors thereon. The metallic conductors may be very thin, desirably less than 5 microns thick, and provide good fatigue resistance. Each strip may have two conductors thereon, one serving as a principal or signal conductor for connection to a contact on a chip or other microelectronic element and the other serving as potential reference or ground conductor. The potential reference conductor on the lead provides enhanced resistance to crosstalk.

A microelectronic connection component has flexible leads formed by polymeric strips with metallic conductors thereon. The metallic conductors may be very thin, desirably less than 5 microns thick, and provide good fatigue resistance. Each strip may have two conductors thereon, one serving as a principal or first signal conductor for connection to a first contact on a chip or other microelectronic element and the other serving as potential reference or ground conductor, or as a second signal conductor connected to a second contact on the chip. The system provides enhanced resistance to crosstalk and rapid signal transmission, and is compatible with differential signal transmission.
