Decal connectors and methods of forming decal connections to solid state devices

Abstract

Abstract A PLURALITY OF CONNECTIONS FROM ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE LANDS ON AN INSULATING SUBSTRATE TO THE CONTACTS OF A SOLID STATE DEVICE ARE FORMED IN ONE OPERATION BY FIXEDLY POSITIONING THE DEVICE ON, OR IN A CAVITY WITHIN, THE SUBSTRATE. A DECAL, INCLUDING A BACKING PLATE WITH A PLURALITY OF CONDUCTIVE STRIPS WHICH CAN BE ADHERED TO THE PLATE BY MEANS OF A SOLUBLE ADHESIVE, IS POSITIONED OVER THE DEVICE BEARING SUBSTRATE WITH THE STRIPS IN REGISTRY WITH RESPECTIVE CONTACTS AND LANDS. THE STRIPS ARE BROUGHT INTO CONTACT WITH RESPECTIVE CONTACT AND LAND SURFACE PORTIONS AND SUBJECTED TO HEAT AND PRESSURE SUFFICIENT TO CAUSE BONDING THEREBETWEEN. THEREAFTER, THE DECAL BACKING PLATE MAY BE REMOVED FROM THE STRIPS, AS BY DISSOLVING THE ADHESIVE, LEAVING THE STRIPS FIRMLY BONDED TO THE CONTACTS AND LANDS AND BRIDGING THE SPACE THEREBETWEEN, WHEREBY THE LANDS ARE CONNECTED TO THE CONTACTS THROUGH THE STRIPS.
