Abstract:
A method of connecting an area grid array semiconductor chip to a printed wiring board, comprising the steps of:providing at least one disk-shaped conductive lead having a first edge located on the circumference thereof and a second edge located on the circumference thereof, said second edge being located substantially diametrically. opposite said first edge; orienting said first edge of said at least one disk-shaped conductive lead tangent to a corresponding first conductive connection point located on a surface of one of said area grid array semiconductor chip and said printed wiring board; electrically connecting said first edge of said at least one disk-shaped conductive lead to said corresponding first conductive connection point; orienting said second edge of said at least one disk-shaped conductive lead tangent to a corresponding second conductive connection point located on a surface of the other of said area grid array semiconductor chip and said printed wiring board; and electrically connecting said second edge of each of said at least one disk-shaped conductive leads to said corresponding second conductive connection point.
