Abstract

A flexible automated bonding apparatus electrically interconnects integrated circuit carriers, printed circuit boards, and other devices. A metallized interconnect pattern is deposited on the surface of the substrate. The metallized interconnects in the pattern span apertures created in the substrate using an excimer laser. Thus, the metallized interconnects can be electrically bonded through the apertures to elements lying underneath the substrate.
