Abstract
A method includes providing a pad chip having contact pads, providing a spring chip having micro-springs, applying a chemical activator to one of either the pad chip or the spring chip, applying an adhesive responsive to the chemical activator on the other of the pad chip or the spring chip, aligning the pad chip to the spring chip such that the micro-springs will contact the contact pads, and pressing the pad chip and the spring chip together such that the chemical activator at least partially cures the adhesive.
