Patent ID: 8530276

Claim:
A method for manufacturing a microelectronic device on a substrate having at least one first electrical component and one second electrical component distributed respectively in first and second levels stacked one on top of the other on the substrate, said method comprising: manufacturing at least one electrical pad in said first level, said electrical pad having a width and length that are each greater than a thickness thereof, said electrical pad having an upper face, electrically connecting the second electrical component to said upper face to electrically connect said second electrical component to the first electrical component using said electrical pad, manufacturing at least one first arm and one second arm of different lengths, each of the first and second arms directly and mechanically linking the electrical pad to a respective fixed anchoring point on the substrate, and prior to the electrical connection of the second component, shifting the electrical pad to a connection position in which the upper face of the electrical pad is in contact with the interior of the second level and parallel to the substrate.
