Abstract
According to one aspect of the invention, an electronic assembly is provided. The electronic assembly includes a first substrate having an integrated circuit formed therein and a second substrate. The first and second substrates are interconnected by a plurality of bi-material interconnects that are electrically connected to the integrated circuit and have a first component comprising a conductive first material with a first coefficient of thermal expansion and a second component comprising a second material with a second coefficient of thermal expansion. The first and second components are connected and shaped such that when the temperature of the bi-material interconnects changes the interconnects each bend towards the first or second component. When the temperature of the second substrate increases, the second substrate expands away from a central portion thereof. The bi-material interconnects are arranged such that the bi-material interconnects bend away from the central portion of the second substrate.
