An apparatus, comprising:

• a substrate;
• a die on the substrate;
• a component on the substrate;
• and
• a frame that surrounds a perimeter of the die, wherein a portion of the frame is between the die and the component, and wherein the frame comprises:
• a first sidewall that faces the die, wherein the first sidewall is along a first plane;
• and
• a second sidewall that faces the component, wherein the second sidewall is along a second plane, and wherein the first plane intersects the second plane.

An apparatus, comprising:

• a package substrate;
• a die on the package substrate;
• a component on the package substrate;
• and
• a stiffener between the die and the component, wherein the stiffener comprises a first sidewall that faces the die and a second sidewall that faces the component, wherein the second sidewall is sloped with respect to a surface of the package substrate on which the die and the component are mounted.
