Abstract:
1. A method of forming a contact element on a support substrate comprising: providing a first substrate; forming an intrusion in the first substrate, the intrusion for forming a contact tip for the contact element; applying a first layer of photoresist and patterning the photoresist to form openings over the intrusion and a region of the first 1 substrate adjacent the intrusion; applying a conductive layer over the exposed first substrate and first photoresist layer; applying and patterning a second layer of photoresist to form openings over a portion of the first photoresist layer and the first substrate separate from the intrusion; applying a resilient metal material in openings formed between regions of the second layer of photoresist and removing the second layer of photoresist; applying an adhesive material over a portion of the contact element separate from the intrusion; attaching the support substrate to the adhesive material; removing the first photoresist material; and removing the first substrate.
