Abstract
A surface mount-type microelectronic component assembly which does not physically attach the microelectronic component to its carrier substrate. Electrical contact is achieved between the microelectronic component and the carrier with solder balls attached to either the microelectronic component or the carrier substrate. A force is exerted on the assembly to achieve sufficient electrical contact between the microelectronic component and the carrier substrate.
