Abstract:
1. A method for manufacturing a contact structure for microelectronics manufacturing, comprising: providing a carrier element defining a first opening therethrough; positioning a molded element on opposite sides of the carrier element by passing the molded element partially through the first opening; coating the molded element with an electrically conductive material; fabricating a helix shaped contact from the electrically conductive material on the opposite sides of the carrier element, the helix shaped contact being positioned over the molded element, the helix shaped contact having a first portion and a second portion on the opposing sides of the carrier element, respectively, and the first and second portions being in minor image relationship to each other; heating the combined helix shaped contact and the molded element such that the molded element is ablated and the helix shaped contact substantially retains the shape of the molded element; positioning at least one contact point on each of the first contact portion and the second contact portion between a pair of insulating substrates including electrically conductive members; and positioning the at least one contact point on each of the first and second contacts portions for electrical contact with respective electrically conductive members to form an electrically conductive package.
