An electronic assembly includes an IC die including a semiconductor top surface having active circuitry thereon and a bottom surface, and at least one protruding bonding feature having sidewall surfaces and a leading edge surface extending outward from the IC die. A workpiece has a workpiece surface including at least one electrical connector and at least one framed hollow receptacle coupled to the electrical connector. The receptacle is formed from metal and includes sidewall portions and a bent top that defines a cavity. The bent top includes bent peripheral shelf regions that point downward into the cavity and towards the sidewall portions. The protruding bonding feature is inserted within the cavity of the receptacle and contacts the bent peripheral shelf regions along a contact area to form a metallic joint, wherein the contact area is at least primarily along the sidewall surfaces.
