CONTACT STRUCTURE FOR INTERCONNECTIONS, INTERPOSER, SEMICONDUCTOR ASSEMBLY AND METHOD

摘要

An interconnection contact structure assembly including an electronic component (102) having a surface and a conductive contact terminal (103) carried by the electronic component (102) and accessible at the surface. The contact structure (101) includes an internal flexible elongate member (106) having first (107) and second ends (108) and with the first end (107) forming a first intimate bond to the surface of the conductive contact terminal (103) without the use of a separate bonding material. An electrically conductive shell (116) is provided and is formed of at least one layer of a conductive material enveloping the elongate member (106) and forming a second intimate bond with at least a portion of the conductive contact terminal immediately adjacent the first intimate bond.
