Abstract:
1. A microelectronic unit comprising: (a) a support structure including a dielectric having oppositely-directed first and second surfaces and a plurality of substantially rigid posts formed from a conductive sheet laminated to said support structure, said posts protruding parallel to one another in a vertical direction beyond said first surface of said support structure, each post having a top surface remote from said support structure, said top surfaces being substantially coplanar with one another, each post having a side that slopes uniformly away from the first surface of said support structure such that the post thins as it reaches a vertical center of the post; (b) a microelectronic device having a surface with bond pads, said microelectronic device overlying said second surface of said support structure with said surface facing toward said support structure; and (c) connections electrically connecting said posts with said bond pads.
