1. A semiconductor device assembly comprising:
a printed circuit board (PCB) substrate including:
an upper surface on which is disposed a first device contact,
a keep-out region extending from a first side surface of the substrate to a second side surface of the substrate opposite the first, and
at least one trace coupled to the first device contact and extending across the keep out region towards a third side surface of the substrate; and
at least one semiconductor device disposed over the upper surface of the substrate and coupled to the first device contact,
wherein the keep-out region of the substrate is free from conductive structures other than the at least one trace,
wherein the at least one trace is exposed at the third side surface of the substrate, and
further comprising an electromagnetic interference (EMI) shield electrically coupled to the exposed at least one trace at the third side surface of the substrate.
