Abstract:
1. A method of manufacturing a microelectronic component assembly, comprising: juxtaposing an active surface of a microelectronic component with first and second leads, each of the first and second leads having a body having a first thickness and an inner length having a second thickness that is less than the first thickness, the first and second leads having inner ends opposed to one another across a terminal gap; attaching the first and second leads to the active surface of the microelectronic component with an array of terminals carried by the active surface extending longitudinally through the terminal gap and with the body of each of the first and second leads having an outer surface adjacent the inner length, wherein the outer surface is spaced a body height outwardly from the active surface of the microelectronic component; attaching a first bond wire to a first terminal of the array and to the inner length of the first lead, the first bond wire having a maximum height outwardly from the active surface that is less than the body height; attaching a second bond wire to a second terminal of the array and to the inner length of the second lead, the second bond wire having a maximum height outwardly from the active surface that is less than the body height; and filling the terminal gap with a dielectric matrix that has a maximum height outwardly from the active surface of the microelectronic component that is less than the body height.
