A carrier for making electrical connection with a microelectronic device without bonding the device to the carrier is disclosed. The carrier is designed to accommodate a device such as, but not limited to, a magnetic bubble domain memory chip. The circuit board and keeper board are joined by a hinge having tension means to readily permit opening and locking of the carrier. When the carrier is in the open position, a device is positioned in the carrier. By locking the carrier, the device is secured and the required electrical connection is made between the carrier and the device. The carrier can now be connected to a test fixture for evaluating the electrical characteristics of the chip without bonding any leads or the carrier may be utilized in a system as an integral part of that system.

Carrier for devices

A process for making an interconnect system for a multilayer circuit pattern. The interconnect system is formed having minimized through-hole space consumption so as to be suitable for high density, closely meshed circuit patterns.
