Disclosed is a method for a countersink-shaped probing test fixture. Benefits include an improved test environment and improved ease of implementation.

Disclosed is a method for a heatsink (HS) with a recessed contact surface for improved material/HS integration and performance. Benefits include improved thermal performance and improved ease of manufacturing.

Disclosed is a method for encapsulant removal post die attach for compliant interconnect silicon. Benefits include improved yield.

Disclosed is a method for strengthening the component-to-board solder joint through the increase of component package ball-grid pad surface areas and annulations. Benefits include improved reliability.

Disclosed is a method for a pull-rod for testing tensile and shear strength without specimen preload. Benefits include improved performance and improved reliability.

Disclosed is a method that incorporates an XY alignment leaf in the spring clip design. This design references two opposing corners of the integrated heat spreader (IHS) and maintains alignment to the center of a carrier pocket. Benefits include eliminating the need for additional précising by the chuck.

Disclosed is a method for reciprocal negotiation of trust between fixed token endpoints. Benefits include improved functionality and improved security.
