Selectively consolidated conductive elements. The conductive elements
may include multiple, mutually adhered regions that comprise conductive material,
such as a thermoplastic conductive elastomer or a metal. In semiconductor device
assemblies, the conductive elements may electrically connect contacts of semiconductor
device components to one another. The conductive elements may alternatively comprise
conductive traces or vias of circuit boards or interposers. Selective consolidation
processes may be employed to fabricate the conductive elements. Such processes
may include use of a machine vision system with at least one camera operably associated
with a computer controlling consolidation or application of material so that the
system may recognize the position, orientation, and features of a semiconductor
device assembly, semiconductor die, or other substrate on which the conductive
element is to be fabricated.
