Abstract: Resilient contact structures are mounted directly to bond pads on semiconductor dies, prior to the dies being singulated (separated) from a semiconductor wafer. This enables the semiconductor dies to be exercised (e.g., tested and/or burned-in) by connecting to the semiconductor dies with a circuit board or the like having a plurality of terminals disposed on a surface thereof. Subsequently, the semiconductor dies may be singulated from the semiconductor wafer, whereupon the same resilient contact structures can be used to effect interconnections between the semiconductor dies and other electronic components (such as wiring substrates, semiconductor packages, etc.). Using the all-metallic composite interconnection elements of the present invention as the resilient contact structures, burn-in can be performed at temperatures of at least 150null C., and can be completed in less than 60 minutes.

Abstract translation: 弹性接触结构直接安装在半导体晶片上的接合焊盘上，在裸片与半导体晶片分离（分离）之前。 这使得半导体管芯能够通过具有设置在其表面上的多个端子的电路板等连接到半导体管芯来进行（例如，测试和/或烧入）。 接下来，半导体管芯可以从半导体晶片分离，因此可以使用相同的弹性接触结构来实现半导体管芯和其他电子部件（例如布线基板，半导体封装等）之间的互连。 使用本发明的全金属复合互连元件作为弹性接触结构，可以在至少150℃的温度下进行老化，并且可以在少于60分钟内完成。

Abstract: In a terminal member, a protuberance is formed so as to protrude toward an external electrode, and thereby, a bonding portion where the terminal member is bonded to the external electrode, the bonding portion being formed with solder, is extended substantially linearly across a part of the external electrode. Preferably, the direction in which the bonding portion is elongated linearly is in parallel to that in which internal electrodes are extended. Further, it is preferable that the bonding portion is as wide as possible, and the center of the bonding portion in the width direction is as near to the center of the end-face of the capacitor body as possible.

Abstract: Spring contact elements are fabricated by depositing at least one layer of metallic material into openings defined on a sacrificial substrate. The openings may be within the surface of the substrate, or in one or more layers deposited on the surface of the sacrificial substrate. Each spring contact element has a base end portion, a contact end portion, and a central body portion. The contact end portion is offset in the z-axis (at a different height) than the central body portion. The base end portion is preferably offset in an opposite direction along the z-axis from the central body portion. In this manner, a plurality of spring contact elements are fabricated in a prescribed spatial relationship with one another on the sacrificial substrate. The spring contact elements are suitably mounted by their base end portions to corresponding terminals on an electronic component, such as a space transformer or a semiconductor device, whereupon the sacrificial substrate is removed so that the contact ends of the spring contact elements extend above the surface of the electronic component. In an exemplary use, the spring contact elements are thereby disposed on a space transformer component of a probe card assembly so that their contact ends effect pressure connections to corresponding terminals on another electronic component, for the purpose of probing the electronic component.

Abstract translation: 通过将至少一层金属材料沉积到限定在牺牲衬底上的开口中来制造弹簧接触元件。 开口可以在衬底的表面内，或者在沉积在牺牲衬底的表面上的一个或多个层中。 每个弹簧接触元件具有基端部分，接触端部分和中心体部分。 接触端部在与中心体部分相同的z轴（不同高度）偏移。 基端部优选地沿着与中心主体部分的z轴相反的方向偏移。 以这种方式，在牺牲基板上以规定的空间关系制造多个弹簧接触元件。 弹簧接触元件通过它们的基端部适当地安装在诸如空间变压器或半导体器件的电子部件上的对应端子上，从而去除牺牲基板，使得弹簧接触元件的接触端部在表面上方延伸 的电子元件。 在示例性用途中，弹簧接触元件因此被布置在探针卡组件的空间变换器部件上，使得它们的接触端在另一电子部件上实现与相应端子的压力连接，以便探测电子部件。

Abstract: Contact structures exhibiting resilience or compliance for a variety of electronic components are formed by bonding a free end of a wire to a substrate, configuring the wire into a wire stem having a springable shape, severing the wire stem, and overcoating the wire stem with at least one layer of a material chosen primarily for its structural (resiliency, compliance) characteristics. A variety of techniques for configuring, severing, and overcoating the wire stem are disclosed. In an exemplary embodiment, a free end of a wire stem is bonded to a contact area on a substrate, the wire stem is configured to have a springable shape, the wire stem is severed to be free-standing by an electrical discharge, and the free-standing wire stem is overcoated by plating. A variety of materials for the wire stem (which serves as a falsework) and for the overcoat (which serves as a superstructure over the falsework) are disclosed. Various techniques are described for mounting the contact structures to a variety of electronic components (e.g., semiconductor wafers and dies, semiconductor packages, interposers, interconnect substrates, etc.), and various process sequences are described. The resilient contact structures described herein are ideal for making a nulltemporarynull (probe) connections to an electronic component such as a semiconductor die, for burn-in and functional testing. The self-same resilient contact structures can be used for subsequent permanent mounting of the electronic component, such as by soldering to a printed circuit board (PCB). An irregular topography can be created on or imparted to the tip of the contact structure to enhance its ability to interconnect resiliently with another electronic component. Among the numerous advantages of the present invention is the great facility with which the tips of a plurality of contact structures can be made to be coplanar with one another. Other techniques and embodiments, such as wherein the falsework wirestem protrudes beyond an end of the superstructure, or is melted down, and wherein multiple free-standing resilient contact structures can be fabricated from loops, are described.

Abstract: An interconnection contact structure assembly including an electronic component having a surface and a conductive contact carried by the electronic component and accessible at the surface. The contact structure includes an internal flexible elongate member having first and second ends and with the first end forming a first intimate bond to the surface of said conductive contact terminal without the use of a separate bonding material. An electrically conductive shell is provided and is formed of at least one layer of a conductive material enveloping the elongate member and forming a second intimate bond with at least a portion of the conductive contact terminal immediately adjacent the first intimate bond. The component carries the contact structures on both sides, the spacing of the structures on the first side being different than that of the second side.

Abstract: Deposition of metal in a preferred shape, including coatings on parts, or stand-alone materials, and subsequent heat treatment to provide improved mechanical properties. In particular, the method gives products with relatively high yield strength. The products often have relatively high elastic modulus, and are thermally stable, maintaining the high yield strength at temperatures considerably above 25.degree. C. This technique involves depositing a material in the presence of a selected additive, and then subjecting the deposited material to a moderate heat treatment. This moderate heat treatment differs from other commonly employed "stress relief" heat treatments in using lower temperatures and/or shorter times, preferably just enough to reorganize the material to the new, desired form. Coating a shape and heat treating provides a shaped deposit with improved material properties. Coating a shape with a portion connected to a base and a portion detached therefrom can provide a resilient, conductive contact useful for electronic applications.
