Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure generally relate to methods of immobilizing die on a substrate. In one method one or more immobilization features are formed in a selected pattern on a substrate. A die is positioned in contact with the one or more immobilization features and the substrate. The one or more immobilization features are cured, and a mold layer is formed on top of the cured one or more immobilization features and the die so as to encapsulate the die.
