Methods of forming a microelectronic packaging structure and associated structures formed thereby are described. Those methods may include forming a cavity in a plating material to hold a die, attaching the die in the cavity, forming a dielectric material adjacent the die, forming vias in the dielectric material adjacent the die, forming PoP lands in the vias, forming interconnects in the vias, and then removing the plating material to expose the PoP lands and die, wherein the die is disposed above the PoP lands.

An electronic module on a flexible planar circuit substrate with a conductor configuration on a first substrate surface and a plurality of electronic components on the opposite, second substrate surface, wherein the components have component contacts, which are electrically connected selectively by way of vias in the circuit substrate and the conductor configuration, wherein the circuit substrate is a thermoplastic polymer and the component contacts are melted or thermally pressed into the second substrate surface in the region of the vias.
