Abstract
Techniques for forming micro-array style packages are disclosed. A matrix of isolated contact posts are placed on an adhesive carrier. Dice are then mounted (directly or indirectly) on the carrier and each die is electrically connected to a plurality of associated contacts. The dice and portions of the contacts are then encapsulated in a manner that leaves at least bottom portions of the contacts exposed to facilitate electrical connection to external devices. The encapsulant serves to hold the contacts in place after the carrier has been removed.
