Abstract
A system for connecting a combination of substrates, including chips, components, printed-circuit-boards and multiple-chip-modules to each other. The system includes a half-conductive layer forming a resistive network sandwiched between the mating substrates. The half-conductive layer has sufficient conductance to allow electrical coupling between mating electrodes on the substrates, and sufficient resistance, to stay below the maximum specified cross-talk level between non-mating electrodes. The connection system can be used to connect light emitting sources with integrated circuits, detectors to integrated circuits and two integrated circuits of the same or possibly different technology to each other. Connection of integrated circuits to printed circuit boards (PCBs) and multi-chip modules (MCMs) is also supported.
