Abstract:
1. An electronic device package comprising: a substrate including at least one electronic device with at least one external contact location on a surface thereof; a mask layer on the surface of the substrate having an opening therethrough exposing a central portion and surrounding a periphery of the at least one external contact location; a sealing layer on the mask layer having an aperture therethrough exposing the central portion of the at least one external contact location and a portion of the mask layer surrounding the periphery of the at least one external contact location; a discrete conductive element attached to the at least one external contact location, bounded by and in peripheral contact with the mask layer, spaced inwardly from a periphery of the aperture through the sealing layer, and extending from the surface of the substrate beyond an exposed surface of the sealing layer; and a lateral support layer on the exposed portion of the mask layer within the aperture at least partially surrounding a base portion of the discrete conductive element and laterally supporting the discrete conductive element.
