Abstract
A semiconductor device with a semiconductor die thereon and a contactor board are electrically coupled when the electrically conductive elements on the semiconductor device and the contactor board are in physical contact. A continuous electrically conductive path is formed with electrically conductive elements involving both the semiconductor device and the contactor board. A complete electrical circuit involving both the semiconductor device and the contactor board is formed only when the relative orientation of the semiconductor device and the contactor board have predetermined relationship and the electrically conductive elements of the two boards are in good physical contact.
