Abstract:
A method of making connections to contacts on a front surface of a part of a semiconductor chip assembly comprising the steps of:(a) juxtaposing a connection component with the part so that a bottom surface of a support structure in said connection component faces downwardly to the front surface of the art, so that electrically conductive connection sections of a plurality of leads on said connection component extending from said support structure overly said contacts, said connection component having a plurality of separate polymeric reinforcements extending from said support structure along said connection sections of said leads such that different ones of said reinforcements extend along connection sections of different ones of said leads; and(b) bonding said connection sections to said contacts on said part by displacing said connection sections downwardly so as to bring the connection sections into engagement with the contacts, and electrically connect said connection sections to said contacts, said polymeric reinforcements being displaced downwardly along with said connection sections during said bonding step polymeric reinforcements of different ones of said leads being displaced separately from one another.
