A method of making an electronic device includes forming an electrically conductive pattern on a substrate, forming a cover layer on the substrate and the electrically conductive pattern, and forming openings in the cover layer and being aligned with the electrically conductive pattern. The method also includes positioning an IC on the cover layer so that bond pads of the IC are aligned with the openings, and heating under pressure the cover layer to both mechanically secure and electrically interconnect the IC.

Memory devices with controllers under stacks of memory packages and associated systems and methods are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a memory device is configured to couple to a host and can include a substrate, a stack of memory packages, and a controller positioned between the stack and the substrate. The controller can manage data stored by the memory packages based on commands from the host.

A microelectronic device has bump bonds and an inductor on a die. The microelectronic device includes first lateral conductors extending along a terminal surface of the die, wherein at least some of the first lateral conductors contact at least some of terminals of the die. The microelectronic device also includes conductive columns on the first lateral conductors, extending perpendicularly from the terminal surface, and second lateral conductors on the conductive columns, opposite from the first lateral conductors, extending laterally in a plane parallel to the terminal surface. A first set of the first lateral conductors, the conductive columns, and the second lateral conductors provide the bump bonds of the microelectronic device. A second set of the first lateral conductors, the conductive columns, and the second lateral conductors are electrically coupled in series to form the inductor. Methods of forming the microelectronic device are also disclosed.
