Abstract:
1. A microelectronic assembly, comprising: a semiconductor chip having a first surface extending in lateral directions, at least one edge surface extending in a direction transverse to said lateral directions, and a plurality of contacts exposed at said first surface; a supporting element adjacent said at least one edge surface and extending in at least one of said lateral directions away from said semiconductor chip, said supporting element having a top surface; a compliant layer overlying said top surface of said supporting element and said semiconductor chip, said compliant layer having a top surface facing away from said top surface of said supporting element and said first surface of said semiconductor chip, said compliant layer having at least one sloping surface extending between said top surface of said compliant layer and said first surface of said semiconductor chip; conductive terminals exposed at said top surface of said compliant layer, at least one of said terminals not overlying said first surface of said semiconductor chip; bond ribbons overlying said top surface of said compliant layer and extending along said at least one sloping surface of said compliant layer, said bond ribbons electrically connecting said chip contacts and said conductive terminals.
