Abstract

An integrated circuit carrier comprising a modular substrate having an upper surface, a multitude of electrically conducting device terminals on the upper surface of the substrate, a multitude of electrically conducting engineering change pads also on the upper surface of the substrate, and an engineering change network to form a unique electrical connection between each of an arbitrary subset of the device terminals and each of an arbitrary subset of the engineering change pads. The engineering change network includes a multitude of connecting pads, and a multitude of first, second, and third conductive leads or wires, and each of the connecting pads includes first and second spaced apart sections.
