Abstract

A microelectronic assembly including a plurality of conductive columns extending from a bond pad of a microelectronic device and a conductive adhesive on a land pad of a carrier substrate electrically attached to the conductive columns.

Claims (18)

1. A microelectronic assembly, comprising:

a microelectronic device having an active surface and having at least one bond pad on said microelectronic device active surface; and

a plurality of conductive columns extending from said at least one microelectronic device bond pad, wherein said plurality of conductive columns each have an aspect ratio of greater than about 3.

2. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein said plurality of conductive columns comprise metal plated on said at least one microelectronic bond pad.

3. The assembly of claim 2 , wherein said metal comprises a metal selected from the group consisting of copper, aluminum, gold, and silver.

4. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein said plurality of conductive columns comprise metal wires attached to said at least one microelectronic bond pad.

5. The assembly of claim 4 , wherein said metal wire comprises a metal wire selected from the group consisting of copper, aluminum, gold, and silver.

6. A microelectronic assembly, comprising:

a microelectronic device having an active surface and having at least one bond pad on said microelectronic device active surface;

a plurality of conductive columns extending from said at least one microelectronic device bond pad;

a carrier substrate having at least one land pad disposed thereon; and

a conductive adhesive on said at least one carrier substrate land pad, wherein said plurality of conductive columns extend into said conductive adhesive.

7. The assembly of claim 6 , wherein said conductive adhesive comprises a solder material.

8. The assembly of claim 7 , wherein said solder material comprises a material selected from the group consisting of lead, tin, indium, gallium, bismuth, cadmium, zinc, copper, gold, silver, antimony, and germanium.

9. The assembly of claim 7 , wherein said solder material comprises a silver/lead/tin alloy.

10. The assembly of claim 7 , wherein said solder material comprises a eutectic tin/silver alloy.

11. The assembly of claim 6 , wherein said conductive adhesive comprises a metal-filled polymer.

12. The assembly of claim 11 , wherein said metal-filled polymer comprises a copper-filled epoxy.
