Abstract
Abstract An improved interconnection for mounting an electrical component to a substrate, such as a printed circuit board or the like, comprises an interwoven copper film mat embedded within a solder alloy matrix. The solder alloy is bonded to the component and to the substrate and extends continuously therebetween to provide a strong mechanical joint. The copper mat enhances electrical and thermal conductivity through the interconnection and improves compliant to relieve stresses of the type generated by differential thermal expansion of the component and the substrate during use.
