Patent ID: 7447041

Claim:
An integrated circuit package comprising: an integrated circuit device having a first electrical contact on a first side of the integrated circuit device and a second electrical contact on an opposite second side of integrated circuit device; a printed circuit board having a first side and an opposite second side, a first electrical contact and a second electrical contact on the first side of the printed circuit board; an electrically conductive element electrically connecting the first electrical contact on the integrated circuit device with the first electrical contact on the printed circuit board; the second electrical contact on the integrated circuit device positioned immediately overlying the second electrical contact on the printed circuit board; a first spring member under compression urging the first electrical contact on the integrated circuit device against a first section of the electrically conductive element to establish a first compression electrical connection, and urging the second electrical contact on the integrated circuit device against the second electrical contact on the printed circuit board to establish a second compression electrical connection; and a second spring member under compression urging a second section of the electrically conductive element against the first electrical contact on the printed circuit board to establish a third compression electrical connection.
