Microelectronic assemblies and methods for making the same are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a method of forming a microelectronic assembly comprises assembling first and second components to have first major surfaces of the first and second components facing one another and spaced apart from one another by a predetermined spacing, the first component having first and second oppositely-facing major surfaces, a first thickness extending in a first direction between the first and second major surfaces, and a plurality of first metal connection elements at the first major surface, the second component having a plurality of second metal connection elements at the first major surface of the second component; and plating a plurality of metal connector regions each connecting and extending continuously between a respective first connection element and a corresponding second connection element opposite the respective first connection element in the first direction. |
