Assignee: TAIWAN SEMICONDUCTOR MANUFACTURING COMPANY LTD.
Field: Semiconductors (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 15:
16. A method comprising:
mounting a first die to a carrier, the first die including a first set of vias embedded in a first material layer, the first set of vias having a width which expands from a first side of the first material layer toward a second side of the first material layer, the first die mounted to the carrier by the second side of the first material layer;
laterally encapsulating the first die in a first encapsulant;
thinning the first encapsulant and the first material layer to expose the first set of vias;
forming a first set of connectors disposed over the first side of the first material layer;
coupling a first semiconductor device to the first set of connectors; and
depositing a second encapsulant to laterally surround the first semiconductor device; and
cutting through the first encapsulant and the second encapsulant to release a package containing the first die and the first semiconductor device, a portion of the first encapsulant remaining on a sidewall of the first material layer of the first die.
