Abstract
Embodiments relate to the design of a device capable of maintaining the alignment an interconnect by resisting lateral forces acting on surfaces of the interconnect. The device comprises a first body comprising a first surface with a nanoporous metal structure protruding from the first surface. The device further comprises a second body comprising a second surface with a locking structure to resist a lateral force between the first body and the second body during or after assembly of the first body and the second body.
