Abstract:
1. A microelectronic package, comprising: a support member having a first surface, a second surface facing opposite from the first surface, an aperture extending from the first surface to the second surface and a projection extending away from the first surface; a microelectronic substrate having a surface facing toward the first surface of the support member; a quantity of adhesive material in direct contact with the projection, the adhesive material having a composition at least approximately the same as a composition of the projection, the adhesive material and the projection forming a generally homogeneous attachment structure, the attachment structure being disposed between the microelectronic substrate and the support member and being attached to at least one of the microelectronic substrate and the support member, the attachment structure forming no electrically conductive link between the microelectronic substrate and the support member, the attachment structure having a height of about 75 microns or more, the attachment structure being offset inwardly from a proximate edge of the microelectronic substrate, and offset outwardly from an edge of the aperture; and a conductive coupler extending through the aperture between the microelectronic substrate and the support member.
