Abstract: A method for assembling one or more semiconductor devices with an interposer includes positioning the one or more semiconductor devices within a receptacle that extends through the interposer, on a retention element that extends over at least a portion of the receptacle. Material may be introduced between at least a portion of an outer periphery of the one or more semiconductor devices and an inner periphery of the interposer to facilitation securing of the one or more semiconductor devices in place relative to the interposer. The retention element may be removed from the semiconductor devices. Once the one or more semiconductor devices are in place, they may be electrically connected to the interposer.
