Abstract:
1. A method for compensating for thickness variations of circuit module elements, comprising: providing a support substrate having first and second major surfaces; coupling a first circuit module element to the first major surface, the first circuit module element having first and second surfaces, the first surface proximal to the support substrate and the second surface distal and spaced apart from the first major surface of the support substrate by a first distance; coupling a second circuit module element to the first major surface, the second circuit module element having first and second surfaces, the first surface proximal to the support substrate and the second surface distal and spaced apart from the first major surface of the support substrate by a second distance, the second distance different from the first distance; and coupling a height extension feature to the second major surface, wherein the height extension feature has a surface that is spaced apart from the second surface of the first circuit module element by a third distance, the height extension feature coupled to the second circuit module element by an extension extending from a bottom surface of the height extension feature and not extending beyond a top surface of the height extension feature.
