Abstract

A microelectronic component having a base and a plurality of conductive posts extending from said base. Each of the posts is formed from a connected lattice of metal having voids therein. The lattice may be formed by depositing metal onto a sacrificial element such as an open-celled polymeric foam. During use or during processing, the posts may be deformed , as by crushing the lattice.
