Abstract:
A component for forming connections to a microelectronic unit comprising:(a) a compliant sheet-like body having oppositely facing top and bottom surfaces, said top and bottom surfaces defining outside surfaces of said component; (b) a plurality of electrically conductive, sheet-like first pads directly attached to said body at said top surface; and (c) a plurality of electrically conductive, sheet-like second pads directly attached to said body at said bottom surface; and (d) a plurality of flexible, electrically conductive, elongated leads interconnecting ones of said first conductive pads with corresponding ones of said second conductive pads, said leads extending between said conductive pads through said compliant body and thereby electrically connecting said corresponding first and second conductive pads, said compliant body surrounding and supporting said leads.
