Abstract
An article includes a mounting substrate, a passive component site on the mounting substrate, and an active component site on the mounting substrate. The article also includes a fluid flow barrier disposed local to the passive component site and spaced apart from the active component site. The fluid flow barrier can be a recess that resists fluid flow thereinto because of surface tension of the fluid when it meets the recess edge. The fluid flow barrier can include a boundary that diverts fluid flow due to the angle of the recess edge as the fluid approaches it. An embodiment also includes a packaging system that includes the article and at least one passive component. An embodiment also includes a method of assembling the article or the packaging system.
