Semiconductor packages having support members are provided. Support members can mitigate damage to a semiconductor die mounted on a semiconductor package. In some embodiments, an arrangement of support packages can be formed at respective locations of a frame layer that serves as a stiffener for the semiconductor package. Each support member in the arrangement can be formed from a same material of the frame layer or a different material. In some embodiments, a support member can be mounted or otherwise coupled to an exposed surface of the frame layer. In addition or in other embodiments, a support member can be mounted on a surface that supports the semiconductor die. The arrangement of support members can include support members comprising a first material and/or other support members formed from respective materials. A support member can be formed from a metal, a metal alloy, a semiconductor, a polymer, a composite material, or a porous material.
