Abstract
A microelectronic connection component includes a support such as a dielectric sheet having elongated leads extending along a surface. The leads have terminal ends permanently connected to the support and tip ends releasably connected to the support. The support is juxtaposed with a further element such as a semiconductor chip or wafer, and tip ends of the leads are bonded to contacts on the wafer using a bonding tool advanced through holes in the support. After bonding, the support and the further element are moved away from one another so as to deform the leads.
