Claim:
1. A method of forming a component, comprising: forming a plurality of wire bonds, each having a first end bonded to a conductive element of a plurality of conductive elements at a surface of the component, wherein the wire bonds have second ends remote from the first ends, the wire bonds having lengths between their respective first and second ends; forming a first layer covering a first portion of the length of each wire bond; inserting the second ends of the wire bonds into a removable film; then forming a second layer overlying the first layer and covering a second portion of the length of each wire bond; and then removing the removable film from the wire bonds, wherein the second ends of the wire bonds are uncovered by the second layer at a surface of the second layer above the first layer and remote from the first layer, and wherein the first layer increases stiffness of the wire bonds.
