MICROELECTRONIC LEAD STRUCTURES WITH DIELECTRIC LAYERS

摘要

A microelectronic connection component (62) has flexible leads (36) formed by polymeric strips (46, 50) with metallic conductors thereon. The metallic conductors (46, 50) may be very thin, desirably less than 5 microns thick, and provide good fatigue resistance. Each strip (46 or 50) may have two conductors thereon, one serving as a principal or signal conductor for connection to a contact on a chip (62) or other microelectronic element and the other serving as potential reference or ground conductor. The potential reference conductor on the lead provides enhanced resistance to crosstalk.
