SUBSTRATE TO BOARD INTERCONNECT WITH LIQUID METAL AND SURFACE PINS

A substrate to printed circuit board (PCB) interconnect with liquid metal and surface pins. A thin dielectric sheet with drilled openings is adjacent to the bottom of a system on chip or CPU package substrate. Holes in the dielectric sheet have a liquid metal (LM) therein, the holes correspond to landing metal pads on the package substrate. The PCB includes surface pins in an arrangement to match the LM filled holes. A pick and place assembly of the package substrate to the PCB can be done without needing a reflow step. A magnet ring can be positioned on the polyimide sheet and configured to pair with a metal plate on the PCB. Guideposts around the periphery of the package substrate may be used to assist in alignment during assembly.
