Abstract:
Surface-mount, solder-down sockets permit electronic components such as semiconductor packages to be releasably mounted to a circuit board or other electronic component. In an embodiment, resilient contact structures extend through a support substrate, and solder-ball (or other suitable) contact structures are disposed along the bottom of the support substrate in electrical contact with the ends of the resilient contact structures. Composite interconnection elements are used as the resilient contact structures disposed atop the support substrate. In an embodiment intended to receive an LGA-type semiconductor package, pressure contact is made between the resilient contact structures and external connection points of the semiconductor package with a contact force which is generally normal to the top surface of the support substrate. In an embodiment intended to receive a BGA-type semiconductor package, pressure contact is made between the resilient contact structures and external connection points of the semiconductor package with a contact force which is generally parallel to the top surface of the support substrate.

Abstract:
A ball grid array mounted circuit includes a stress relief substrate having spaced conductive vias extending between its surfaces and connection pads at the surfaces. Solder connections formed from solder balls connect between pads at the top surface and connection pads at an electronic component. Solder connections formed from solder balls connect between pads at the bottom surface and connection pads at a printed circuit board (PCB). The solder connections absorb at least a portion of the stress due to differences between the thermal coefficient of expansion of the electronic component and the PCB.
