Abstract
An interconnection device has a substrate that includes a conductive trace having an exposed portion at an edge of the substrate. The exposed portion is tapered toward the edge of the substrate. The exposed portion is provided for direct physical contact with a second conductive trace exposed at an edge of a second substrate. A high frequency direct electrical interconnection is thereby provided that reduces the disadvantageous effects of lateral, longitudinal, and co-planar misalignment between the conductive traces.
