Abstract:
A method for packaging an electronic device comprising:providing a substrate, said substrate comprising a substrate first surface and a substrate second surface, opposite said substrate first surface; providing an electronic device, said electronic device comprising an electronic device first surface and an electronic device second surface, opposite said electronic device first surface; forming a hole in said substrate first surface, said hole comprising hole sides and a hole bottom surface, said hole bottom surface being large enough to position said second surface of said electronic device on said hole bottom surface; positioning said electronic device in said hole with said second surface of said electronic device on said hole bottom surface such that a distance between said second surface of said electronic device and said second surface of said substrate is less than a distance between said first surface of said substrate and said second surface of said substrate; electrically coupling said electronic device to said substrate with electrical connections; applying a layer of encapsulant to: said first surface of said electronic device; said first surface of said substrate; and said electrical connections; and filling gaps between said electronic device and said hole sides with said encapsulant.
