Patent ID: 7484966

Claim:
A method of forming a land grid array (LGA) interposer structure, including providing an electrically insulating carrier plane, molding at least one interposer mounted on a first surface of said carrier plane, said at least one interposer selectively having a hemi-toroidal configuration in transverse cross-section and being constituted of a dielectric elastomeric material that is a polymer selected from the group of materials consisting of silicon rubber, siloxane, PDMS, polyurethane, polybutadiene and copolymers thereof, polystyrene and copolymers thereof, acrylonitrile and copolymers thereof, and epoxides and copolymers thereof; molding at least one further dielectric elastomeric interposer on an opposite side of said carrier plane wherein said at least one further interposer is identical to and in an inverted relationship with said at least one interposer; and depositing material to form one or more electrically-conductive elements on the surfaces of said at least one and further interposers, said electrically-conductive element or elements extending radially inwardly and downwardly through a via in said carrier plane from an uppermost end of said at least one interposer in electrical contact with an opposite distal end of said at least one further interposer.
