ABSTRACT:
A Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Systems (MEMS) interconnection pin is fabricated on a sacrificial layer, which is formed on a conductive layer and a substrate. The MEMS interconnection pin has a pin base attached to a frame that has direct contact to the conductive layer. The sacrificial layer is then removed, at least partially, to detach the MEMS interconnection pin from the substrate. In one embodiment, the MEMS interconnection pin has a pin base, two springs extending out from two different surfaces of the pin base, and a tip portion attached to each spring. The tip portions include one or more contact tips to make contact to conductive subjects.
