Abstract: The invention relates to a flip-chip assembly process for connecting two microelectronic components (1, 2) to each other. According to the invention, it is possible either to proportion the spacers (24) so that they are smaller than the interconnect bumps (22) or to oversize the latter so that their deformation, after having been plastic during the insertion of connective inserts (12), returns to the elastic regime once assembly contact between components (1,2) has been reached. Thanks to the invention, it is possible to control with great precision the gap between the two components during their assembly, and this without adding any additional steps to their manufacturing or to the assembly process.

Abstract: A connecting system having a female element including a hollow flared part for receiving and guiding a male element and a hollow mating part for mating with the male element. A part to be mated of the male element has an outside diameter that before the mating is larger than an inside diameter of the mating part of the female element, and the part to be mated of the male element is made of a material that can be strained and has a corrugated transverse cross section, so as to contract when it is plugged into the mating part of the female element, and/or the mating part of the female connection element is made of a material that can be strained and has a corrugated transverse cross section, so as to dilate when the part to be mated of the male element is plugged into it.
