1. A method of adjusting a load delivered by a load plate for an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) assembly, said method comprising:
- providing said load plate formed with a curvature; and
after providing said load plate with said curvature, compressing said load plate prior to installing said load plate in said ASIC assembly, said compressing being adjusted to plastically and permanently deform said curvature with which said load plate was originally formed to cause said load plate to provide a target load when installed in said ASIC assembly; and
installing the plate in said ASIC assembly.

Abstract
A method of sizing a load plate for an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) assembly includes compressing the load plate prior to installation in the ASIC assembly. The compression is adjusted to cause the load plate to provide a target load when installed in the ASIC assembly.

19. A method of adjusting a load delivered by a load plate in an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) assembly, said method comprising:
-
compressing said load plate prior to installing said load plate in said ASIC assembly, said compressing being adjusted to cause said load plate to provide a target load when installed in said ASIC assembly; and adjusting a thickness of a load washer based on said target load to be applied by said load plate; wherein said compressing further comprises compressing said load plate beyond a compression that would be experienced by said load plate when installed in said ASIC assembly; and
installing the plate in said ASIC assembly.

20. A method of sizing a load plate for an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) assembly, said method comprising:
-
forming a load plate with a curvature; and after forming said load plate, but prior to installing said load plate in said ASIC assembly, compressing said load plate, said compressing causing said load plate to plastically deform; and
installing the plate in said ASIC assembly. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22)
