Abstract:
1. A contact for creating an electrical connection between a multi-layer substrate and an integrated circuit (IC) device, the contact comprising: a metal body formed directly on the multi-layer substrate, the multi-layer substrate including at least one dielectric layer and at least one metal layer, the at least one metal layer including a number of conductors disposed on the at least one dielectric layer; and a skived structure cut from the metal body and connected to a remaining portion of the metal body, the skived structure providing a spring and having an end for contacting a lead of the IC device, the remaining portion of the metal body secured to the multi-layer substrate and providing a base for the skived structure; wherein the base is electrically coupled with at least one of the conductors of the multi-layer substrate.
