1. A semiconductor assembly comprising:
- an assembly substrate;
at least one semiconductor die; and
a plurality of free standing elongate springable interconnection elements located between the die and the assembly substrate, each having a first portion contacting the assembly substrate and a second portion contacting the semiconductor die, each elongate springable interconnection element extends from one of the semiconductor die and the assembly substrate, whereafter the elongate springable interconnection element alters direction at least once, and each elongate springable interconnection element includes an elongate flexible precursor element of a first material, and a second material on the elongate flexible precursor element wherein the elongate flexible precursor element is flexible without the second material and the elongate flexible precursor element and the second material together are resilient.

Abstract
An electronic assembly. The electronic assembly includes a first substrate which has a first set of contact pads and a second substrate which has a second set of contact pads. A plurality of elongate, springable interconnection elements are located between the first substrate and the second substrate. Each of the plurality of elongate, springable interconnect elements is free standing and has a portion permanently attached to a respective contact pad of the first set of contact pads and has a second portion contacting a respective contact pad of the second set of contact pads. The first and the second substrates are brought into a fixed relationship relative to one another.
