    Abstract: A semiconductor package assembly includes a first mounting surface of a package substrate that faces a second mounting surface of a printed circuit board. A first structural element bond pad is mounted to the first mounting surface. A second structural element bond pad is mounted to the second mounting surface, and the first and second structural element bond pads are aligned with each other. A structural element is interconnected with a first solder joint to the first structural element bond pad and interconnected with a second solder joint to the second structural element bond pad. The structural element extends between the first and second structural element bond pads to absorb mechanical shock when a compressive force pushes one of the first and second mounting surfaces toward the other.

    Abstract: Semiconductor devices having interconnect structures with conductive elements configured to mitigate thermomechanical stresses, and associated systems and methods, are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a semiconductor package includes a semiconductor die and a pillar structure coupled to the semiconductor die. The pillar structure can include a plurality of conductive elements made of a first conductive material having a first elastic modulus. The pillar structure can further include a continuous region of a second conductive material at least partially surrounding the plurality of conductive elements. The second conductive material can have a second elastic modulus less than the first elastic modulus.
