Patent ID: 7272888

Claim:
A method of making a microelectronic package comprising the steps of: providing a first microelectronic element having electrically conductive parts and including first and second surfaces; providing a plurality of compliant elements over said first surface of the said first microelectronic element, each said compliant element including a releasable adhesive at a surface remote from said first microelectronic element; providing a second microelectronic element having a first surface, a second surface and electrically conductive parts exposed at said first surface of said second microelectronic element; abutting said second microelectronic element against said releasable adhesive so that said second microelectronic element and said first microelectronic element are releasably assembled such that they adhere to each other wherein said first surface of said second microelectronic element faces toward said first microelectronic element; connecting said electrically conductive parts of said first and second microelectronic elements; testing said releasably assembled package so as to identify whether the package is improperly assembled; if the package is improperly assembled, disassembling said first and second microelectronic elements from each other without the application of heat to said releasable adhesive; if the package is proper assembled, providing a curable liquid between said first and second microelectronic elements of said properly assembled package; and curing said curable liquid so that said first and second microelectronic elements are permanently assembled to one another.
