Abstract :
The Sea of Polymer Pillars offers highly compliant electrical, optical, and RF wafer-level I/O interconnects at an I/O density larger than 10/sup 5//cm/sup 2/. Dual mode I/O pillars function simultaneously as both electrical and optical interconnects to offer circuit/system designers essentially unlimited I/O bandwidth at potentially the lowest cost.
