| 1. A method of forming a wall structure in a microelectronic assembly, the method comprising:
selectively depositing a flowable material on an upper surface of a first element of the microelectronic assembly by screen
printing the flowable material at selected positions on the upper surface or utilizing a stencil to deposit the flowable material
at selected positions on the upper surface;
positioning a molding surface in contact with the deposited flowable material; and
controlling a distance between the upper surface of the first element and the molding surface with one or more objects positioned
between the upper surface and the molding surface.
