An interface includes a surface having an electrically conductive pad; a compliant coating over the surface having a via extending to the pad; metallization patterned over the compliant coating and extending into the via; a low modulus dielectric interface layer overlying the compliant coating and having an interface via extending to the metallization; and a floating pad structure including floating pad metallization patterned over the dielectric interface layer with a first portion forming a central pad and a second portion forming an extension from the central pad extending into the interface via. Another interface includes a substrate including a low modulus dielectric interface material having a hole extending at least partially therethrough and a floating contact structure including electrically conductive material coating the hole with at least some of the floating pad metallization forming an extension from the hole. A conductive contact area interface may include an electrically conductive first contact area; an electrically conductive second contact area facing and being substantially aligned with the first contact area; and at least one interface structure coupled between the first and second contact areas and including an electrical conductor having a partially open interior to form a compliant joint between the first and second contact areas.
