Abstract:
1. An apparatus for supporting a microelectronic substrate, comprising: a support substrate having a first surface configured to carry a microelectronic substrate and a second surface facing opposite from the first surface; a first connection structure disposed on the second surface of the support substrate and configured to remain decoupled from the microelectronic substrate when the support substrate carries the microelectronic substrate, the first connection structure having a first bond site configured to receive a flowable conductive material, the first connection structure further having a first number of first elongated members connected to and extending outwardly from the first bond site, wherein none of the first elongated members is configured to be electrically connected to the microelectronic substrate; and a second connection structure disposed on the second surface of the support substrate, the second connection structure having a second bond site configured to receive a flowable conductive material, the second connection structure being configured to be coupled to the microelectronic substrate when the support substrate carries the microelectronic substrate, the second connection structure further having a second number of second elongated members extending outwardly from the second bond site, the second number being the same as the first number.
