The present disclosure relates to a semiconductor chip that includes a substrate, a metal layer, and a number of component portions. Herein, the substrate has a substrate base and a number of protrusions protruding from a bottom surface of the substrate base. The substrate base and the protrusions are formed of a same material. Each of the protrusions has a same height. At least one via hole extends vertically through one protrusion and the substrate base. The metal layer selectively covers exposed surfaces at a backside of the substrate and fully covers inner surfaces of the at least one via hole. The component portions reside over a top surface of the substrate base, such that a certain one of the component portions is electrically coupled to a portion of the metal layer at the top of the at least one via hole.

A method of forming an electronic device structure includes providing an electronic component having a first major surface, an opposing second major surface, a first edge surface, and an opposing second edge surface. A substrate having a substrate first major surface and an opposing substrate second major surface is provided. The second major surface of the first electronic component is placed proximate to the substrate first major surface and providing a conductive material adjacent the first edge surface of the first electronic component. The conductive material is exposed to an elevated temperature to reflow the conductive material to raise the first electronic component into an upright position such that the second edge surface is spaced further away from the substrate first major surface than the first edge surface. The method is suitable for providing electronic components, such as antenna, sensors, or optical devices in a vertical or on-edge.
