Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to systems, apparatuses, techniques or processes related to packages that are fully or partially encapsulated in a mold material, with one or more grooves in the mold material to reduce failure in the package during operation. In embodiments, the grooves will allow greater flexibility within the body of the package as it experiences thermo-mechanical stress during operation and will reduce stresses that may be placed on internal components such as chips or bridges in the package, as well as stresses that may be placed on interconnects of the package that are coupled to a substrate. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
