Abstract:
A structure for receiving a semiconductor chip, said structure comprising:a substrate having a plurality of first contact points on a first surface and a plurality of second contact points on a second surface, the substrate further having an attachment layer opposite to the first surface, and a first layer opposite to the second surface, with at least one slot between the attachment layer and the first layer; a cover member disposed over and unattached to said substrate; and at least one clip for generating a force on said cover member toward said substrate, wherein each of said at least one clip has: a first member that contacts said substrate between the first surface and the attachment layer when at least a portion of said first member is received within said at least one slot; and a second member in contact with said cover member, said second member having an outwardly tapering profile corresponding to a profile of a notch in said cover member.
