A plurality of conductive elements provide physical and electrical contact between a surface of the substrate and a surface of the interposer.

In some implementations, a standoff element is disposed between an IC die disposed on the surface of the substrate and the surface of the interposer. In another example, a method includes coupling conductive elements to a surface of an interposer, attaching a standoff element, coupling the conductive elements to a surface of a substrate, and forming an embedded layer between the interposer and substrate. The standoff element defines a minimum gap between the interposer and the substrate.
