Claim Text:
1. An interposer, comprising: a dielectric encapsulation having first and second oppositely-facing surfaces at which electrical connection can be made to respective first and second external components; and a plurality of wire bonds each separated from one another by the encapsulation, each wire bond having first and second opposite extremities not fully covered by the encapsulation at the first and second surfaces, respectively, and an edge surface between the first and second extremities contacted by the encapsulation and separated from the edge surfaces of adjacent wire bonds by the encapsulation, at least one of the extremities of each wire bond being a base of such wire bond, each base being a portion of the respective wire bond other than a cylindrically shaped shaft, the interposer having first and second opposite sides, first contacts and second contacts at the first and second opposite sides, respectively, for electrical connection with the first and second external components, respectively, the first contacts being electrically connected with the second contacts through the wire bonds, the base of each wire bond contacting an adjacent surface of a corresponding one of the first contacts or second contacts, the first and second contacts each configured to be electrically connected with the first and second external components by a conductive bond material, wherein one of the extremities of each wire bond opposite from the respective base is an end of such wire bond, and the encapsulation has a recess extending from at least one of the first and second surfaces adjacent the end of each of at least some of the wire bonds, each recess configured to receive the conductive bond material.
