A conductive structure configured to connect a contact pad of a
semiconductor device with a corresponding contact pad of a substrate. The
conductive structure includes two interconnectable members, one securable
to each of the corresponding contact pads. Each member includes a
dielectric jacket having an aperture that laterally confines conductive
material of a conductive center thereof over the contact pad to which the
member is secured. The conductive center of a female member of the
conductive structure only partially fills the aperture of the jacket
thereof so as to form a receptacle for an end of the male member of the
conductive structure. One or both of the male and female members may also
be configured to limit the insertion of the male member into the
receptacle of the female member. The members of the conductive structure
may be preformed structures which are attached to a surface of a
semiconductor device or other substrate. Alternatively, the members can
be fabricated on the surface of the semiconductor device or other
substrate. A stereolithographic method of fabricating at least the
jackets of the members is disclosed. The stereolithographic method may
include use of a machine vision system including at least one camera
operably associated with a computer controlling a stereolithographic
application of material so that the system may recognize the position and
orientation of a semiconductor device or other substrate on which a
member of the conductive structure is to be fabricated. Methods of
connecting a semiconductor device with another substrate are also
disclosed, as are assemblies including the conductive structures.
