Abstract
A method for forming an interconnect for establishing electrical communication with a semiconductor die is provided. The method includes: providing a microbump tape and then mounting the tape to a substrate with a compliant layer therebetween. The microbump tape includes an insulating film having a pattern of microbump contact members corresponding to a pattern of bond pads on the die. The compliant layer can be formed of a curable adhesive such as a silicone elastomer. A coupon containing a plurality of microbump tapes can be mounted to a substrate wafer which can then be singulated to form a plurality of interconnects. The interconnects can be used with a testing apparatus for testing unpackaged semiconductor dice.
