ABSTRACT:
An integrated circuit contactor includes a base of an insulating material, the base being elastically deformable. A plurality of pads of a first conductive material are bonded to the base at positions corresponding to positions of terminals on an integrated circuit. A plurality of contacts of a second conductive material are bonded to the plurality of pads, respectively, the terminals of the integrated circuit being electrically connected to the contacts only when a pressure is exerted onto the contacts by the terminals of the integrated circuit, each contact having a projecting edge with a roughness produced by pulling a wire of the second conductive material apart from a corresponding one of the plurality of pads after the wire is bonded to the corresponding pad.
