Patent ID: 6884707

Claim:
A method for making electrical interconnection between A) a first electronic component, having at least one contact pad, and B) a second electronic component, also having at least one contact pad, said contact pads of said second electronic component generally corresponding to said contact pads of said first electronic component, D) connecting elements, each of which is substantially an elongated body, with two ends and a stem between said two ends, E) said method comprising: F) joining a first end of a first connecting element to a first contact pad on said first electronic component; G) repeating this joining process with more such connecting elements, joining a first end of each subsequent connecting element to the subsequent contact pad of said first electronic component, until each of the desired number of contact pads of said first electronic component has a connecting element joined to it; H) joining the second end of each said connecting elements to the corresponding contact pad on said second electronic component; I) resulting in an arrangement where J) connecting elements are crossing over between said first electronic component and said second electronic component, and connecting each contact pad of said first electronic component to the corresponding contact pad of said second electronic component; K) wherein L) said connecting elements comprise means to prevent any materials, which may be present during the joining process, which could be liquid or molten, from migrating away from the joints at said ends of said connecting elements towards the center of said connecting elements along the stem of said connecting elements, and/or from attaching themselves to said stems.
