Land grid array (LGA) socket cartridge and method of forming

摘要

Aspects of the present invention relate to land grid array socket cartridge structures. In one embodiment, a land grid array (LGA) cartridge structure includes: a deformable thin film having at least one aperture configured to hold a substantially liquid metal, whereby in a compressed state of the deformable thin film, the substantially liquid metal of the deformable thin film is configured to electro-mechanically couple a carrier and a socket base. Another embodiment includes a method of forming a LGA cartridge structure. The method includes: providing a deformable thin film having a first surface and a second surface, and forming at least one aperture within the deformable thin film through the first surface and the second surface, wherein the aperture is configured to hold a substantially liquid metal.

1. A land grid array (LGA) cartridge structure comprising:
a deformable thin film having at least one aperture configured to hold a substantially liquid metal, whereby in a compressed state of the deformable thin film, the substantially liquid metal of the deformable thin film is configured to electro-mechanically couple a carrier and a socket base; and at least one substantially rigid structure surrounding the at least one aperture of the deformable thin film, wherein the substantially rigid structure is formed on at least one surface of the deformable thin film, wherein a first surface and a second surface of the deformable thin film include a plurality of raised areas positioned adjacent the at least one aperture in an uncompressed state of the deformable thin film and wherein the plurality of raised areas of the deformable thin film are substantially planar in the compressed state of the deformable thin film.
