Abstract

See full text

Flexible leads for making electrical connection in microelectronic components include a frangible intermediate section. The frangible intermediate section is formed by a region within the lead having weakened mechanical integrity. The frangible intermediate section is made by providing a sacrificial metal layer and forming a projection on the surface of the metal layer from a portion thereof. Lead forming material is deposited onto the surface of the sacrificial metal layer and over the projection. A dielectric layer is formed on the surface of the lead forming material. Upon removing the sacrificial metal layer, a frangible intermediate section is formed within the lead forming material at the location of the projection.
