INTEGRATED CIRCUIT CARRIER WITH RECESSES

摘要

An integrated circuit carrier (10) includes a wafer having a receiving zone (12). The receiving zone (12) is demarcated by a bore (60) in the wafer. A plurality of island-defining portions (16) is arranged about the receiving zone (12). Each island-defining portion (16) has an electrical terminal electrically connected to an electrical contact of said at least one receiving zone (12). A rigidity-reducing arrangement (40) connects each island-defining portion (16) to each of its neighbouring island-defining portions (16).
