Abstract:
1. A microelectronic assembly, comprising: a support member having a first side and a projection extending away from the first side; a plurality of conductive traces at the first side of the support member, wherein at least some of the conductive traces include conductive bond sites carried by the projection, the bond sites having an outer surface at a first distance from the first side of the support member, and wherein at least some of the conductive traces have a generally uniform thickness across the entire or substantially the entire first side of the support member; and a protective coating deposited over the first side of the support member and at least a portion of the conductive traces, the protective coating having a major outer surface at a second distance from the first side of the support member, wherein the second distance is approximately the same as the first distance, and wherein the outer surface of the protective coating is generally co-planar with the outer surface of the bond sites carried by the projection.
