1. A semiconductor package structure having multiple heat dissipation paths comprising:
a semiconductor component having first and second opposing surfaces;
a conductive support structure having a plurality of support pads, wherein the first surface of the semiconductor component is coupled to one or more of the plurality of support pads and wherein at least two of the support pads have an alignment structure formed therein;
a conductive connective bridge coupled to the second surface of the semiconductor component, wherein the conductive connective bridge comprises coupling portions on opposing ends, and wherein the coupling portions are aligned to the alignment structure on at least two support pads, and wherein the coupling portions extend from a major surface of the conductive connective bridge, and wherein the coupling portions are in physical contact with the alignment structures without an intervening material, and wherein the coupling portions and the alignment structures are configured to enhance planarity between the conductive connective bridge and semiconductor component; and
an encapsulating layer passivating portions of the semiconductor package structure while leaving portions of the conductive connective bridge and portions of the plurality of supports pads exposed to provide the multiple heat dissipation paths.
