Patent ID: 6991969

Claim:
An apparatus, comprising: an electrically insulating body having at least two major surfaces; a first plurality of electrical contacts disposed on a first major surface of the body; a second plurality of electrical contacts disposed on a second major surface of the body; a plurality of electrical vias disposed in the body, between the first major surface and the second major surface so as to provide electrically conductive paths between at least a portion of the first plurality electrical contacts and a corresponding portion of the second plurality of electrical contacts; and an evacuation pathway disposed in the electrically insulating body; and an evacuation pathway sealing means disposed on the second major surface and coupled to the evacuation pathway; wherein the first plurality of electrical contacts have a layout arranged to match a corresponding layout of a plurality of electrical contacts of a plurality of die on a wafer, such that when the first major surface of the electrically insulating body is disposed on the wafer, the first plurality of electrical contacts and the corresponding plurality of electrical contacts are in direct mechanical and electrical contact.
