Abstract
A micro-electronic assembly, a substrate for use in the assembly and an associated method are disclosed herein. The substrate includes an outer surface configuration defining an aperture within a first surface and electrically conductive leads on the first surface. In the overall micro-electronic assembly, a micro-device includes an active surface supporting at least one component which projects outwardly from the surface. The micro-device further includes electrically conductive bumps on the active surface. The micro-device is positioned on the first surface of the substrate such that the projecting component extends at least partially into the aperture defined by the substrate and so that the electrically conductive leads of the micro-device are electrically engaged with the electrically conductive leads of the substrate.
