Abstract
A circuit board assembly has a circuit board with a mounting surface, first and second circuit components mounted on the circuit mounting surface, and first and second concave ribbon bonds extending between the first and second circuit components. The first and second ribbon bonds each have a first end connected to the first circuit component, a second end connected to the second circuit component and a concave portion extending between the first and second ends.

A circuit board assembly comprising:
- a circuit board having a circuit mounting surface;
- a first circuit component mounted on the circuit mounting surface;
- a second circuit component mounted on the circuit mounting surface;
- and
- a first concave ribbon bond extending between the first and second circuit components, the first concave ribbon bond having a first width greater than a first thickness and having a first end connected to the first circuit component, a second end connected to the second circuit component and a first concave portion extending downward between the first and second ends of the first concave ribbon bond, wherein the first concave portion of the first concave ribbon bond extends below a top surface of the first circuit component and a top surface of the second circuit component.
