Claims
- 1. A selectively coated member comprising at least three zones, wherein at least a first zone having at least one securable washer secured thereto separates at least a second zone from at least a third zone, and wherein at least a portion of said second zone and/or at least a portion of said third zone has at least one coating of a coating material, and wherein said first zone is uncoated.
- 2. The coated member of claim 1, wherein said member is an input/output pin, and wherein at least a portion of said input/output pin has a coating of at least one coating material.
- 3. The coated member of claim 2, wherein at least a portion of said input/output pin is secured to at least a portion of a semiconductor substrate.
- 4. The coated member of claim 2, wherein said input/output pin is secured to a bonding pad by a method selected from brazing or soldering.
- 5. The coated member of claim 1, wherein said at least one coating material is selected from the group consisting of aluminum, copper, iron, nickel, gold, silver and palladium.
- 6. The coated member of claim 1, wherein at least a portion of said second and/or said third zone has at least one gold coating.
- 7. The coated member of claim 1, wherein said securable washer is made of a material selected from the group consisting of polytetrafluoroethylene, polyurethane and polyetherimide.
- 8. The coated member of claim 1, wherein said securable washer is a heat shrinkable washer.
- 9. The coated member of claim 1, wherein said securable washer is made of a polymeric material.
- 10. The coated member of claim 1, wherein said securable washer is made of an isomeric material.
- 11. The coated member of claim 1, wherein said coated member is made of a material selected from the group consisting of aluminum, copper, iron, nickel, gold, silver and palladium.
- 12. A selectively coated input/output pin comprising a base, a tapered portion and a shank, wherein at least a portion of said shank has a securable washer secured thereto and wherein at least a portion of said pin has a coating of a coating material, and wherein said shank portion secured to said securable washer is uncoated.
- 13. The input/output pin of claim 12, wherein said securable washer is made of a material selected from the group consisting of polytetrafluoroethylene, polyurethane and polyetherimide.
- 14. The input/output pin of claim 12, wherein said input/output pin is made of a material selected from the group consisting of aluminum, copper, iron, nickel, gold, silver and palladium.
- 15. The input/output pin of claim 12, wherein said selectively coated pin is secured to a bonding pad on a substrate.
- 16. The input/output pin of claim 12, wherein said pin has a coating of at least one material selected from a group consisting of aluminum, copper, iron, nickel, gold, silver and palladium.
- 17. The input/output pin of claim 12, wherein said securable washer is a heat shrinkable washer.
- 18. The input/output pin of claim 12, wherein said securable washer is made of a polymeric material.
- 19. The input/output pin of claim 12, wherein said securable washer is made of an isomeric material.
