Abstract: A soldered assembly for a microelectronic element includes a microelectronic element, solder columns extending from a surface of the microelectronic element and terminals connected to distal ends of the columns. The assembly can be handled and mounted using conventional surface-mount techniques, but provides thermal fatigue resistance. The solder columns may be inclined relative to the chip surface, and may contain long, columnar inclusions preferentially oriented along the lengthwise axes of the columns.

Abstract: A data transmission interconnect assembly (e.g., a router) capable of transmission speeds in excess of 40 Gbps in which a line-card is detachably coupled to a backplane using flexible flat cables that are bent to provide a continuous, smooth curve between the connected boards, and connected by a connection apparatus that employs cable-to-cable interface members that are transparent to the transmitted signal waves. Microspring contact structures are formed on the cables, or on a contact structure pressed against the cables, to provide interface arrangements that are smaller than a wavelength of the transmitted signal. A connector apparatus uses a cam mechanism to align the cables, and then to press a contact structure, having micro spring interface members formed thereon, against the cables. An alterative contact structure uses anisotropic conductive film.

Abstract: The compressibility of a formation hydrocarbon sample is determined downhole by using a borehole tool to obtain the sample downhole, and, at two different pressures, subjecting the sample to near infrared illumination and conducting spectral absorption measurement of peaks at and/or around about 6,000 cm−1 and/or at and/or about 5,800 cm−1 (the absorption peaks of methane and crude oil respectively). The compressibility of the sample is determined from the change in the peak areas, the change in pressure, and the measured peak area itself. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the pressure is changed at least 2000 pounds per square inch (psi), and preferably 4000 or more psi between measurements.

Abstract: In a method for mounting a sheet-like multi-layer element for producing a microelectronic component, the sheet-like element is first bonded to an expansion ring. The expansion ring is then heated to stretch the sheet-like element. A frame ring, having an external diameter smaller than the internal diameter of the expansion ring, is then bonded to the sheet-like element. The assembly is then cooled, and the expansion ring is cut away. In another embodiment, a method is provided for bonding bond pads on a sheet-like microelectronic element to terminal pads on a microelectronic component. The microelectronic element is first placed on a rigid plate and the sheet-like element, which has been bonded to a frame ring, is placed over the microelectronic component. A disk is then placed on the sheet-like element, and force is applied to the disk, bringing the bond pads on the sheet-like element into contact with the terminal pads on the microelectronic element. Heat is then applied, forming the bonds.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for fabricating compliant spring contacts for use in, for example, IC packaging and interconnection between multi-layers in stacked IC packages and electronic components. Internal stresses generated within an formed film are released to cause the film to buckle and/or bow away from a supporting terminal. A thin stressed metal film layer is selectively broken away from the substrate of the supporting terminal allowing the stressed metal film to take on a bowed and/or spring-like shaped through minute deformation based on a release of the internal stresses. The resultant thin compliant spring contact can deform a small amount as the spring contact is then pressed against a compatible mating contact surface in an overlying layer.

Abstract: A microelectronic interposer is made by providing a sacrificial layer over the surface of a planar body. Apertures are formed passing through the body and the sacrificial layer. A layer of an electrically conductive structural material is deposited in each of the apertures and over the sacrificial layer, proximate to each aperture to thereby form contacts. The sacrificial layer is removed leaving the contacts with outwardly flaring peripheral portions spaced vertically above the surface of the planar body.

Abstract: An assembly includes a structure, a plurality of terminals and a plurality of compliant pads disposed between said terminals and said structure. The terminals are aligned with at least some of said pads, with the pads providing a standoff between the structure and the terminals. The compliant pads are preferably made of a non-conductive material such as a silicone elastomer.
