Abstract
An integrated circuit assembly element formed via an additive manufacturing technique, such as mixing a conductive material with a memory metal to form a portion of a substrate in desired locations, such as along the footprint of die, are discussed herein. In operation (e.g. in response to thermal cycling of the assembly) the memory metal contracts while the conductive material expands. The result is an element having reduced thermal expansion, which can be net zero coefficient of thermal expansion and/or be catered to the coefficient of thermal expansion of a desired material, such as the silicon die.
