ABSTRACT:
A design structure to provide a package for a semiconductor chip that minimizes the stresses and strains that arise from differential thermal expansion in chip to substrate or chip to card interconnections. An improved set of design structure vias above the final copper metallization level that mitigate shocks during semiconductor assembly and testing. Other embodiments include design structures having varying micro-mechanical support structures that further minimize stress and strain in the semiconductor package.
