Abstract:
1. A microelectronic element comprising: (a) a body defining a front surface, said body having pads exposed at said front surface, wherein said body is a unitary semiconductor wafer including a plurality of semiconductor chips; and (b) flexible leads having pad ends and tip ends, said pad ends of said flexible leads being connected to said pads, said tip ends of at least some of said flexible leads projecting over said front surface of said body, at least some of said flexible leads being spaced apart from said front surface, said tip ends of said flexible leads being independently movable with respect to said body, each of said at least some of said flexible leads being curved in a plane parallel to said front surface of said body; wherein each said semiconductor chip comprises a central region and a peripheral region surrounding said central region and wherein at least some of said pads are disposed in said peripheral region of each said semiconductor chip, said tip ends of said at least some of said flexible leads extending inwardly over said central region of each said semiconductor chip.
