Compliant leads double as probes

Article Abstract:

A lead/probe technology based on wirebonding called microsprings has been developed by Livermore, CA-based FormFactor. The process involves the bonding of gold wire to the chip, given an S or other shape, then burning off using wirebond technology. The resulting curled-up probe fingers demonstrate good resilience. Aside from its use as probes, the contacts can be used in flip-chip-type applications and interconnect ppitches down to 6 microns were demonstrated.
