Abstract
Abstract A method of replacing IC chip package wiring having an interposer comprising removing an interposer having a plurality of adhesively laminated interposer layers from the package, delaminating and replacing at least one interposer layer with a corrected interposer layer, relaminating the interposer layers with adhesive thus producing a replacement interposer and remounting the replacement interposer to the IC chip package.
