A high-density electrical package utilizing an array of high performance
demountable electrical contacts such as UEC, T-Spring, F-Spring and their
equivalent contained in a carrier in the form of an interposer between
one or more components and a substrate. The carrier is made of a
thermally conductive metal or contains thermally conductive metal to
provide heat-spreading or dissipation functions in addition to the
function of the retention and alignment of the electrical contacts. The
above interposer is used for chip attach for a single chip or a stack of
chips in the package. The interposer provides electrical connections
through individual electrical contact to another chip or to the substrate
of the package. It provides also the heat spreading or dissipation
function to the chips connected thermally to a particular interposer. The
interposer can further be connected thermally to an external heat
spreader when necessary.
