Patent ID: 7040930

Claim:
A module for a bare semiconductor die having a plurality of bond pads on a surface thereof, the module comprising: two plates each having a first major side and a second major side, each of the first major side and the second major side having a first end and a second end, the first major side of a first plate of the two plates abutted to the second major side of a second plate for forming a die socket having a die slot at a first end thereof and a lead slot at a second end thereof, the first end and the second end of the die socket formed by the two plates; a tape including a pattern of electrically conductive leads formed on a portion of a film of insulation forming a portion thereof, a plurality of electrically conductive leads of the pattern of electrically conductive leads having inner ends for resilient electrical contact with the plurality of bond pads of the bare semiconductor die and outer ends for at least one electrically conductive lead of the plurality of electrically conductive leads to electrically contact a substrate; resilient apparatus for engaging the inner ends of the plurality of electrically conductive leads of the pattern of electrically conductive leads into resilient contact with the plurality of bond pads of the bare semiconductor die; and a third plate abutted to one of the first plate and the second plate for forming a second die socket.
