TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to electrical connectors, and more particularly to resilient electrical connectors for incorporating electronic components.

At the same time, the connection nm of each package is increasing. In terms of paste, the existing integrated circuit package can have a pitch of 1 mm or less and a connection of 600 or more. Furthermore, the integrated circuit device is designed to operate at a continuously increasing frequency. For example, bulk circuit devices used in computing, telecommunications, and network applications can operate at frequencies of several billion GHz. The electronic operation, the packaging, and the number of packaged devices, to test or connect the interconnections of these electronic devices (10) bring severe clothing. 2, Do not worry about the mechanical, electrical, and reliability performance criteria of the interconnect system. Turning on the high-speed, small size and a large number of thieves' integrated circuit clothing and mechanical reliability specifications, will open the above traditional interconnection technology without, easily meet the requirements. In general, the traditional connection that optimizes electrical performance has poor mechanical and reliability properties, while mechanical performance optimization and improved sinister connector systems have poor electrical characteristics. A particular problem encountered with today's interconnect systems is the non-coplanarity of the pins in the electronic components to be connected (norvcoplanar丨·ty). For example, the coplanarity of a planar device t component exists when the components are in a common reference plane. In the Wei package, the factors that cause the package connector components (or pins) to be inconsistent include process variations and substrate torsion (wa"pages.

Preferably, each contact is in addition to an elastically deformable portion; it comprises a conductive material, and the elastically deformable portion comprises a conductive material extending from the λ portion and protruding from the surface of the plane containing the connector array. Above. A contact between the deformable elastic portion and the base-body is formed by using a film coating, a lithographic patterning, a money engraving, and a shape technique. Many configurations of the invention can form small contacts in the array, have pitches ranging from about = 5 mm to about 5 mm, and as shown herein are pitches ranging from about 127 Å to the extent that conventional techniques are not available. . The arranging towel of the present invention has a transverse dimension ranging from 0.5 mm to about i00 mm in another configuration, as described herein, the deformable contact portion exhibits a suitable working range, from about 〇〇mm to j 1.0 mm. Within the scope. In another configuration, the normalized working range of the deformable contact of the one-sided contact is approximately 〇·2〇 to approximately 444 4SHAW/04001TW/NE0, and the bilateral contact is approximately 40 to approximately α.

For grammatical purposes, the term normalized working range is—dimensjQnless, and the working range of the f-contact is divided by the pitch of the connector array in which the contact is located. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS Figure 1 is a diagram showing the nature of a contact in a connector component of the present invention. This figure shows the resistance of the H-connected component and the relative contact displacement of the applied external force. For a given application, the connector component may need to meet a specific resistance value, which is generally defined by the upper limit of the tolerable resistance. In addition, for the application of most elastic connector components, an applied displacement should not exceed a value above which the elastic contact portion does not exhibit an elastic manner. Thus, in the example of Figure ', a working range can be defined as the absolute value of the applied displacement range, which is the range of resistance of the connector component that is lower than the tolerable resistance, and is that the elastic portion maintains an elastic response to the applied displacement or force. The scope. In Figure 1, the tolerable resistance limit is represented by Rmax. As shown, the measured resistance decreases as the contact displacement increases, and at Dmin, the resistance reaches the value of Rmax. At higher displacement values, the measured resistance remains below the Rmax value. Therefore, the lower limit of the working range can be set at the displacement value Dmin, and the connector resistance is less than Rmax when it is exceeded. Force Curve Forcel displays reproducible behavior in the range of contact displacements up to the value labeled Dplastic. Linear here

As exemplified, when the displacement value exceeds Dplastie, increasing the contact displacement with a small increase or no increase in the applied force indicates the beginning of the plastie defQrmati〇n. Therefore, the deformation of the contact experience beyond Dplastic will exhibit permanent deformation, which cannot be recovered when the load is removed, thus reducing the range of the contact portion. Therefore, in the non-example, the upper limit of the working range WR1 is set lower than

For example, 'the force applied to the contact, la_ng f0rce' can be used to set the upper limit of the working range d·b.

Therefore, for the conventional die forging I The low displacement value reaches the upper limit of the working range. 2 Assume that the traditional upset forging yellow has a similar Dmin, as shown, relative to WR1, working

Referring again to Figure 2, in one configuration of the present invention, the shape, height H, and Lp of the beam 2〇4 are determined by a "forming" process, wherein as shown in Figure 3, the original planar beam 304 is deformed to be embedded in a A three-dimensional body in a planar surface. This deformation process imparts the shape illustrated in Figures 2 and 2b. Therefore, a 1. 5 mm rotating beam having a height of 〇·63 mm can be formed into an external (base) size of about 2·1χ2·1 丽. Because contact 200 is formed using conventional lithography and etching techniques that effectively define sub-micron sized features, the pitch in the array comprising contacts 200 can be easily set to a size that is only nominally larger than the contact size. This is due to the fact that the sub-micron tolerances used to form the lithography and etching techniques of contact 200 are much smaller than the actual contact size. Illustrative Experimental Summary The following subheadings present the measurement results performed using the contact of the present invention. The test data is measured by a simple load-displacement-resistance device designed to detect load (in grams), bit ^j in mils [mils], and resistance (in ohms). With collection. Line / In the following example A, the upper limit of the working range corresponds to the rotation of the corresponding plastic deformation start, the displacement of the contact, or the load value is greater than 5 gram. In addition, for the example of measuring the resistance of the contact, the lower limit of the working range is defined as a displacement value, and above the displacement value, each pastoral alignment is substantially not saki; and the high-value mid-shift value date Shou, the resistance change is less rapid than the low displacement value. Therefore, the following example 4SHAW/〇4〇〇iTW/NE<-12-1249273, the lower limit of the working range is defined by a typical "knee" in the displacement data by the typical L-shaped resistance of the electrical measurement (see The point in Figure 1 is κ), not defined by an absolute resistance value. Finally, with the exception of Figure 9b, all of the information exemplified in the following figures is derived from a contact having a thickness of about 2 mils. Too single side 旌楹 contact + Fig. 4 is a resistance versus load versus displacement diagram of a single sided beam contact formed in accordance with an exemplary configuration of the present invention. The swivel beam contact of Figure 4 was measured to have the structure of the contact 200 disclosed in Figures 2 and 2b and formed as a portion of the array of 27-sided connector elements. The data of 4 represents one cycle from one contact. In each measurement, the surface of the measuring device is about mils on the surface of the beam 204, and in the direction of the vertical base = 2 plane, a displacement of about 2 mils is reached. For each measurement and the electrical contact is established through the connected components, the resistance drops rapidly. For displacements greater than about 5 mils, the electrical resistance drops below about 〇·_ω and remains below this value. n ^ t; when not taking a large displacement of 20 mils, the load is from zero right, plus = 4 grams. It is clear from the load-displacement data that a similar curve is plotted on the scale of all measurements. Throughout (10) times, the fine-grained data of the shifting data indicates that the girder contact is in the 21 L ear displacement range, showing only the elastic behavior.

Using the R dirty value of 〇· 〇 4mD, the working off can now be labeled F, which is subtracted at approximately 6 mils, where the measured R value is substantially below Rmax. Because the load-displacement data is measured at a displacement of 20 mils in the South, the beginning of the plastic flow (10) heart flow is not indicated. If the beginning of the plastic flow is used as the defined criterion, the upper limit of the working range corresponds to the displacement of the 20 material. limit. Alternatively, if a maximum allowable applied load of 50 grams is used as a criterion, the maximum value is not reached at 2 mils. Regardless of the shape of the petal, assuming that the experimental data depicts a high, touch-displacement-limited contact behavior, the upper limit of the range of rotation corresponds to approximately 2 铪 铪 ear displacement. Thus, there is a working range of about 14 mils (6 + mil ^ mil _ range) for the contact of item 4, and the contact of Fig. 4 is formed on the array of green 〇 5 〇 :: > The characteristics of the desired working range are held at least 1 time, as shown in Figure 4.

For example, the w 0 square ou takes the steel back to the η, and the contact 200 of FIGS. 2 to 2b. Referring to Figure a, a substrate 11 is provided and the contact elements will be placed thereon. The substrate 1100 can be, for example, a second wafer or a ceramic wafer, and can include a dielectric layer formed thereon (not shown in Figure 11a). For example, a dielectric layer of sapphire (s〇s), glass sputum (S0G), borophosphorus tetraethyl orthosilicate (BpTE〇s), or tetraethyl chloroformate (TE0S) It can be formed on the substrate to isolate the contact element from the substrate (10). A support layer 11G2 is formed on the substrate 1282937 containing chemical vapor deposition, plasma vap〇r deposition (PVD), spin coating process, or when the substrate η (10) is not covered with a dielectric layer or a conductive adhesive layer. The support layer can be grown using an oxidation process commonly used in semiconductor processes. After the support layer 1102 is deposited, a mask layer 11〇4 is formed on the top surface of the support layer 1102. The mask layer 11〇4 incorporates a conventional lithography process such that the mask layer 1104 defines a pattern on the support layer 11〇2. After the mask layer is printed and developed (Fig. lib), a mask pattern comprising regions 1104a through 1104c is formed on the surface of the support layer 1102 defining the region where the support layer 11(2) is protected from subsequent etching. Referring to the graph, the non-isotropic side process is performed by using the area a to ll 〇 4c as a mask. As a result of the non-isotropic firing process, the support layer 11G2 that is not covered by the patterned mask layer is removed. Therefore, the support regions ^ 2a to 1102 are formed = then the mask pattern ' containing the region blue a to i is removed to expose the support region (Fig. nd). The support regions 1102a through i102c then experience an iso-ratio, in vertical and water = ί. Thus, the result of the isotropic smoke is that the rounded support region comprises: SF: page corner, as shown in FIG. The isotropic etching process can be used for .4, Ά 3, CF4, or other common etching processes for etching dielectric materials. Alternatively, the isotropic process is wet and wet using buffered oxide (B0E)

Referring to Figure 11f, a metal layer 1106 is formed on the surface of the substrate and the foxhole domains 1102a to 11G2c. The metal layer is a copper layer, a copper alloy layer or a multilayer metal deposit such as tungsten-plated copper-nickel-gold (Cu/Ni/Au). Preferably, the contact elements are formed by: _ small-grain copper-rhenium alloy followed by electroless nickel-gold plating to provide a non-oxidized surface. The metal layer 1106 can be deposited by chemical vapor deposition processes, Wei, inspection, electropolymerization, or by other conventional metal film deposition techniques. The shadow process is layered and _ into a scale area test ^ 1108c. The mask areas 1 to (10)c define areas where the metal layer should be protected from subsequent etching. The structure in Fig. 11F is then subjected to an etching process to remove portions of the metal layer that are not covered by the mask regions 1108a through 110b. As a result, metal ports (U106a to ll6c) are formed as shown in the drawing. Each metal portion 11 such as to 1106c includes a base formed on the substrate 11A, and a curved elastic portion formed at the support region of ( 11Q2a to shame.) Therefore, when viewed from the cross section, the elastic portion of each metal portion is taken to be substantially the same as that of the substrate. As shown in Figure 11H, the support region 1 is removed. Teng to i, for example
