Claim 0:
1. An apparatus, comprising:
a substrate supporting at least one semiconductor device thereon, the substrate comprising:
an interface located proximate to an end of the substrate and sized, shaped, and configured to provide external electrical connection to the at least one semiconductor device; and
engagement structures located proximate to, and laterally outward from, the interface, the engagement structures extending laterally beyond a longitudinal remainder of a lateral periphery of the substrate trailing the engagement structures, each engagement structure comprising a first depth at a first portion of the engagement structure and a second, smaller depth at a second, laterally inward portion of the engagement structure to define a recess therebetween; and

a carrier comprising:
supports shaped, positioned, and configured to be positioned in the recesses of the engagement structures to secure the end of the substrate to the carrier; and
a crossbar for positioning proximate to another opposite end of the substrate and sidewalls extending longitudinally from the crossbar for placement along the remainder of the lateral periphery of the substrate;
wherein the support comprise cutouts in the sidewalls, the cutouts positioned for alignment with the engagement structures of the substrate, and a post spanning each cutout, each post size, positioned, oriented, and configured to be received in a recess proximate to the second laterally inward portion of the each engagement structure to secure the end of the substrate to the carrier.
