  • Patent number: 8123965
    Abstract: An interconnect structure with stress buffering ability is disclosed, which comprises: a first surface, connected to a device selected form the group consisting of a substrate and an electronic device; a second surface, connected to a device selected form the group consisting of the substrate and the electronic device; a supporting part, sandwiched between and interconnecting the first and the second surfaces while enabling the areas of the two ends of the supporting part to be small than those of the first and the second surfaces in respective; and a buffer, arranged surrounding the supporting part for absorbing and buffering stresses.

  • Patent number: 8026603
    Abstract: An interconnect structure of an integrated circuit and manufacturing method therefore are provided, relating to an interconnect structure of flexible packaging. The interconnect structure includes a first and a second conductive pads. A plurality of tiny and conductive first pillars is respectively formed on the first and second pads. With different densities and thicknesses of the first and second pillars, a contact strength can be generated when the pillars interconnecting with each other, such that the pillars are connected closely. Furthermore, the interconnect structure can also be used to connect with fibers made of conductive materials. Moreover, the higher the density of the pillars, the stronger the contact strength. And, electronic substrates and active or passive electronic elements can be stuck on the other side of each pad. Therefore, the interconnect structure can maintain flexibility and have high reliability without being enhanced by any thermosetting polymer.

  • Patent number: 7754599
    Abstract: A structure for reducing stress for vias and a fabricating method thereof are provided. One or more wires or vias in the thickness direction are enframed with the use of a stress block in a lattice structure to be isolated from being directly contacted with the major portion of insulating materials with a high coefficient of thermal expansion. Thus, the shear stress resulting from temperature loading can be blocked or absorbed by the stress block.
