Abstract
A package for connecting an integrated circuit to a printed circuit board. The package includes an interconnect having a deflectable cantilever and a solder bump. When the integrated circuit is affixed to the interconnect, the solder bump deflects the cantilever. When the solder bump is heated such that the solder reflows, the cantilever springs toward its non-deflected position and is at least partially absorbed by the reflowing solder.
