Original Abstract Submitted

In examples, a packaged integrated circuit (IC) comprises a package substrate having opposite first and second surfaces and including metal interconnects surrounded by an insulation material. The package substrate includes a depression region that extends from the first surface, and the depression region includes a material different from the insulation material and the metal interconnects. The packaged IC also comprises a semiconductor die on part of the first surface adjacent to the depression region. The semiconductor die includes circuitry coupled to the metal interconnects. The packaged IC also comprises a mold compound covering the semiconductor die and the depression region.
