Abstract
A chip package includes a substrate having a positive feature, which is defined on a surface of the substrate and which protrudes above a region on the surface proximate to the positive feature. Furthermore, the chip package includes a mechanical reinforcement mechanism defined on the substrate proximate to the positive feature that increases a lateral shear strength of the positive feature relative to the substrate. In this way, the chip package may facilitate increased reliability of a multi-chip module (MCM) that includes the chip package.
