An apparatus, method, and system for providing a stress absorption layer for integrated circuits includes a stiffening layer adapted to limit flexing. A compliance layer is physically associated with the stiffening layer, with the compliance layer adapted to absorb stress caused by mismatched thermal properties between two materials. A thru hole passes through both the stiffening layer and the compliance layer, with the thru hole being adapted to receive a solder joint. The stress absorption layer contacts both a semiconductor package and a substrate. The solder joint disposed in the thru hole connects the semiconductor package to the substrate.
