Abstract:
1. A method of hybridizing at least two integrated circuits (ICs) to form a hybrid circuit, comprising: providing a first IC, the surface of which includes at least one electrical contact for connection to a mating IC; depositing an insulating layer on the surface of said first IC and over said at least one electrical contact; patterning and etching said insulating layer to provide recesses in said insulating layer above each of said electrical contacts; depositing a deformable conductive material in each of said recesses; providing said mating IC, said mating IC including conductive pins positioned to align with the deformable conductive material in respective ones of said recesses; and hybridizing said first and mating ICs by bringing said conductive pins into contact with said deformable conductive material in said recesses such that said deformable conductive material deforms and said pins make electrical contact with said first IC's electrical contacts.
