Abstract

A packaging and interconnection for connecting a contact structure to an outer peripheral component. The packaging and interconnection includes a contact structure made of conductive material and formed on a contact substrate, a contact trace horizontally extended on the contact substrate and connected to the contact structure, a contact pad formed on a bottom surface of the contact substrate remote from the contact structure, a contact target provided at an outer periphery of the contact structure in a side-by-side fashion to be electrically connected with the contact pad, a conductive lead for electrically connecting the contact pad and the contact target, an elastomer for achieving flexibility, and a support structure for supporting the contact structure, contact substrate and elastomer.
