Abstract:
1. A microelectronic structure, comprising: a microelectronic substrate; a microelectronic socket, wherein the microelectronic socket includes a first surface, a second surface, and a plurality of conductive structures extending between the microelectronic socket first surface and the microelectronic socket second surface, wherein the plurality of conductive structures proximate the microelectronic socket second surface are attached to the microelectronic substrate; a microelectronic package; and a flexible interposer having a first portion disposed between the microelectronic socket and the microelectronic package, and a second portion attached to an external component, wherein the flexible interposer electrically connects the microelectronic package to the microelectronic socket, and electrically connects the microelectronic package to the external component, wherein the flexible interposer includes a first surface, a second surface, a plurality of interconnects proximate the flexible interposer first surface, a plurality of socket contacts proximate the flexible interposer second surface, and at least one signal routing trace, wherein at least one interconnect is electrically connected with at least one socket contact, wherein at least one interconnect is electrically connected to the at least one signal routing trace; wherein at least one interconnect is in electrical contact with at least one microelectronic package bond pad, wherein at least one socket contact is in contact with at least one socket conductive structure proximate the microelectronic socket first surface; and wherein the at least one signal routing trace is connected to the external component.
