Abstract:
Technologies for integrated circuit components with liquid metal interconnects are disclosed. In the illustrative embodiment, a bed of nails socket can mate with an integrated circuit component with liquid metal interconnects. The nails pierce a foam cap layer that seals the liquid metal interconnects, electrically coupling the nails to the liquid metal interconnects. A fabric layer adjacent to the foam cap layer helps secure the foam cap layer, preventing small pieces of the foam cap layer that may be dislodged during repeated insertion into a bed of nails socket from becoming separated from the foam cap layer. The fabric layer can provide additional benefits, such as removing more of the liquid metal from the nails when the integrated circuit component is removed from the bed of nails socket.
