A microelectronic package includes a microelectronic element having
contacts accessible at a surface thereof, a layer overlying the
microelectronic element, the layer having a first surface and a sloping
peripheral edge extending away from the first surface of the layer, and
conductive terminals overlying the microelectronic element, wherein the
layer supports the conductive terminals over the microelectronic element.
The package also includes conductive traces having first ends
electrically connected with the contacts of the microelectronic element
and second ends electrically connected with the conductive terminals,
with at least one of the conductive traces having a section that is in
contact with and extends along the sloping peripheral edge of the layer,
and a compliant material disposed between the conductive terminals and
the microelectronic element so that the conductive terminals are movable
relative to the microelectronic element.
