Substrates for mounting microelectronic dies, methods for forming vias in such substrates, and methods for packaging microelectronic devices are disclosed herein. A method of manufacturing a substrate in accordance with one embodiment of the invention includes forming a conductive trace on a first side of a sheet of non-conductive material, and forming a via through the non-conductive material from a second side of the sheet to the conductive trace. The method further includes removing a section of the non-conductive material to form an edge of the non-conductive material extending across at least a portion of the via. In one embodiment, forming the edge across the via exposes at least a portion of the second conductive trace for subsequent attachment to a terminal on a microelectronic die.

TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The following disclosure relates generally to interconnecting substrates for microelectronic dies and, more particularly, to methods for coupling microelectronic dies to interconnecting substrates having conductive traces on two sides.
