Patent ID: 7114960

Claim:
A compliant interconnect assembly adapted to electrically couple a first circuit member to a second circuit member, the compliant interconnect assembly comprising: a first dielectric layer having a first major surface and a plurality of through openings; a plurality of electrical traces positioned against the first major surface of the first dielectric layer, the electric traces comprising a plurality of conductive compliant members having first distal ends aligned with a plurality of the openings in the first dielectric layer, the first distal ends adapted to electrically couple with the first circuit member; and a second dielectric layer having a first major surface positioned against at least one of the electric traces and the first major surface of the first dielectric layer, the second dielectric layer having a plurality of through openings through which the electric traces electrically couple with the second circuit member; and at least one additional circuitry plane positioned against at least one of the major surfaces of the second dielectric layer, the additional circuitry plane comprising a plurality of through openings at least a portion of which are aligned with a through opening in the second dielectric layer.
