Abstract
A connection component for a microelectronic device such as a semiconductor chip incorporates a support layer and conductive structures extending across a surface of the support layer. The conductive structures have anchors connecting them to the support layer, and releasable or unanchored portions. A method of making a connection component includes removing material from the conductive structures or the support layer or both to form the anchors.
