Abstract

An electronic device package is described that includes a non-metal die attached adhesive. The die attach is positioned in discrete positions on a surface to which the die will be fixed. The die is placed on the discrete die attach. The die attach, in an embodiment, is an epoxy resin or other material that is cured. After curing, the die is electrically connected to an external circuit. The volume between the die and surface is filled with an underfill. In an embodiment, underfill cross-links with the die attach.
