Abstract:
A method of forming a semiconductor die module and inserting a semiconductor die thereinto to attach said semiconductor die to a substrate having conductors thereon, said semiconductor die having a plurality of conductive bond pads on a surface thereof, said method comprising:providing a first plate having first and second major sides with corresponding first and second ends; providing a second plate having first and second major sides with corresponding first and second ends; providing a multi-layer interconnect lead tape having first ends and second ends, said multi-layer interconnect lead tape including a pattern of electrically conductive leads formed on an insulative film, said conductive leads having inner first ends for resilient electrical contact with bond pads of said semiconductor die and outer ends for electrical contact with said conductors on said substrate; providing a compressible elastomeric apparatus for contacting a portion of said multi-layer interconnect lead tape for the biasing thereof when located between a portion of said first plate and a portion of said second plate; abutting the second major side of said first plate and the first major side of said second plate forming a bare die socket having a die slot located at each first end of said first plate and said second plate and forming a lead slot located at each second end of said first plate and said second plate, the first ends of said multi-layer interconnect lead tape extending between the second major side of said first plate and the first major side of said second plate and the second ends of said multi-layer interconnect lead tape extending beyond each second end of said first plate and said second plate; and inserting said semiconductor die into said bare die socket to attach said semiconductor die to said substrate.
