Patent attributes
A semiconductor device assembly is provided. The assembly includes a first package element and a second package element disposed over the first package element. The assembly further includes a plurality of die support structures between the first and second package elements, wherein each of the plurality of die support structures has a first height, a lower portion surface-mounted to the first package element and an upper portion in contact with the second package element. The assembly further includes a plurality of interconnects between the first and second package elements, wherein each of the plurality of interconnects includes a conductive pillar having a second height, a conductive pad, and a bond material with a solder joint thickness between the conductive pillar and the conductive pad. The first height is about equal to a sum of the solder joint thickness and the second height.
