Abstract:
A structure for receiving a semiconductor chip, said structure comprising:a first substrate layer having a plurality of first contact points on a surface thereof, wherein said first substrate layer comprises a printed circuit board; a second substrate layer disposed on said first substrate layer, said second substrate layer including a plurality of second contact points on a surface thereof, said plurality of first contact points being connected to said plurality of second contact points by a plurality of electrical traces; a cover member disposed over and separate from said second substrate layer; and one or more clips for generating a force on said cover member toward said second substrate layer, each of said one or more clips including: a first member that contacts both of said first substrate layer and said second substrate layer; a second member displaced from said first member; and an elbow segment integrally attached to both of said first member and said second member, said elbow segment generating at least path of said force on said cover member upon being deformed.
