Claim 17:
18. A method comprising:
applying an adhesive material to a peripheral region of a substrate using a dispensing head;
applying a thermal interface material (TIM) to a die connected to the substrate using the dispensing head;
positioning a lid over the substrate using a lid carrier, wherein an outer-most periphery in a first direction parallel to a top surface of the substrate for the lid is co-planar with an outer-most periphery in the first direction for the lid carrier, and the lid comprises a cavity for accommodating a height of the die; and
attaching a periphery of the lid to the substrate with the adhesive material forming an interface with the substrate, wherein attaching the periphery of the lid further comprises contacting the TIM with the lid.
