Abstract
A microelectronic device includes a die with input/output (I/O) terminals, and a dielectric layer on the die. The microelectronic device includes electrically conductive pillars which are electrically coupled to the I/O terminals, and extend through the dielectric layer to an exterior of the microelectronic device. Each pillar includes a column electrically coupled to one of the I/O terminals, and a head contacting the column at an opposite end of the column from the I/O terminal. The head extends laterally past the column in at least one lateral direction. Methods of forming the pillars and the dielectric layer are disclosed.
