Abstract:
A method of making connections to a microelectronic device having at least one bump leads thereon, the method comprising the steps of:providing a substrate having a front surface and a group of electrically conductive posts extending upwardly from the front surface, the posts each having a contact connection end remote from the front surface of said substrate, the posts of said group defining a gap therebetween, each post of said group having a central axis, and a contact having a post connection portion attached to said contact connection end of the posts and a bump lead contact portion extending away from said posts into said gap, said post connection portion of said contact arranged remote from said front surface,arranging said bump lead contact portion of said contact overlying and spaced from the front surface of said substrate within said gap, andassembling the microelectronic device to the substrate and posts so that one of said bump leads penetrates into said gap and engages at least said bump lead contact portion of said contact.
