Devices Having Compliant Wafer-level Packages With Pillars And Methods Of Fabrication

Abstract

Devices and methods of fabrication thereof are disclosed. A representative device includes a complaint wafer-level package having one or more lead packages. A representative lead package includes a substrate having a plurality of die pads disposed thereon and a plurality of leads attached to the plurality of die pads. In addition, the lead package includes a plurality of pillars made of a low modulus material. Each pillar is disposed between the substrate and at least one lead, and each lead is disposed upon one of the pillars that compliantly support the lead.
