Abstract:
1. A electrical interconnect providing a temporary interconnect between terminals on an IC device and contact pads on a printed circuit board (PCB), the electrical interconnect comprising: a substrate comprising a first surface with a plurality of openings arranged to correspond to the terminals on the IC device; a compliant material located in the openings; a plurality of conductive traces extending along the first surface of the substrate and onto the compliant material, the compliant material providing a biasing force that resists flexure of the conductive traces into the openings; conductive structures electrically coupled to the conductive traces and positioned over the openings, the conductive structures adapted to enhance electrical coupling with the terminals on the IC device; and vias electrically extending through the substrate that couple the conductive traces to PCB terminals located proximate a second surface of the substrate.
