ABSTRACT:
A flexible interconnect for flexibly connecting an integrated circuit chip to a substrate. The flexible interconnect includes a flexible core, formed of a polymeric material, fully covered by a layer of an electrically conductive metal. A layer of a compliant material is provided beneath the input/output pad of the substrate and/or integrated circuit chip to reduce mechanical stresses on the flexible interconnect. The substrate and integrated circuit chip may include depressions to receive ends of the flexible interconnect. In one embodiment, the flexible interconnect may be tubular in shape and positioned on a protrusion formed on the substrate.
