1. A semiconductor device assembly, comprising:
a package substrate including a top surface, a bottom surface, and outer surfaces between the top and bottom surfaces;
a semiconductor device disposed over the top surface of the package substrate, the semiconductor device configured to generate heat during operation; and
an encapsulant material at least partially encapsulating the package substrate and the semiconductor device,
wherein the package substrate includes a layer of thermally conductive material configured to thermally conduct the heat generated by the semiconductor device laterally outward toward the outer surfaces, and one or more thermal vias extending from the layer of thermally conductive material to the top surface, the bottom surface, or both,
wherein the layer of thermally conductive material extends continuously from one outermost edge of the package substrate to an opposing outermost edge of the package substrate.
