Abstract

See full text

An interconnection element and a method of forming an interconnection element. In one embodiment, the interconnection element includes a first structure and a second structure coupled to the first structure. The second structure coupled with the first material has a spring constant greater than the spring constant of the first structure alone. In one embodiment, the interconnection element is adapted to be coupled to an electronic component tracked as a conductive path from the electronic component. In one embodiment, the method includes forming a first (interconnection) structure coupled to a substrate to define a shape suitable as an interconnection in an integrated circuit environment and then coupling, such as by coating, a second (interconnection) structure to the first (interconnection) structure to form an interconnection element. Collectively, the first (interconnection) structure and the second (interconnection) structure have a spring constant greater than a spring constant of the first (interconnection) structure.
