A microelectronic package includes a microelectronic element having
contacts, a dielectric element, at least a portion of the dielectric
element extending beneath the microelectronic element, and a structure
including portions of a lead frame. The structure includes a plurality of
terminals and leads formed integrally with the terminals, at least some
of the terminals and at least some of the leads being disposed entirely
beneath the microelectronic element, and at least some of the contacts
being connected to at least some of the terminals by at least some of the
leads. The leads and terminals are at least about 50 microns thick.
