Claim 11:
12. A method for aligning interconnects comprising:
trimming and forming a frame of strips of interconnects, wherein the frame of strips of interconnects comprises interdigitated pins;
removing siderails from the frame of strips of interconnects to provide an array of strips of interconnects;
aligning a first set of strips of interconnects in the array of strips of interconnects such that pins of the first set of strips of interconnects are aligned with pins of a second set of strips of interconnects in the array of strips of interconnects, wherein a strip of interconnects of the first set of strips of interconnects are adjacent to a strip of interconnects of the second set of strips of interconnects to provide an aligned array of strips of interconnects;
flipping the first set of strips of interconnects of the array of strips of interconnects and the second set of strips of interconnects of the array of strips of interconnects;
resting the flipped first set of strips of interconnects of the array of strips of interconnects and the flipped second set of strips of interconnects of the array of strips of interconnects on a sawing chuck table; and
singulating the aligned array of strips of interconnects to provide interconnects for dies of integrated circuit (IC) chips.
