Stress isolating signal path for integrated circuits

TLDR
In this article, a stress isolating signal path with one end of fixed to a bonding pad of an integrated circuit chip and another end which forms a flexible bonding surface is provided.
Abstract
A stress isolating signal path having one end of fixed to a bonding pad of an integrated circuit chip and another end which forms a flexible bonding surface is provided. The flexible bonding surface may be bonded to external package components or external circuitry using conventional wire bond, epoxy bond, tape automated bonding, flip chip bonding, or the like. The signal path is formed using conventional semiconductor thin film deposition, patterning, and etching techniques. The signal path comprises a conductive material compatible with batch semiconductor manufacturing technology.
