Claim Text:
1. A microelectronic assembly comprising: a first microelectronic package, wherein the first microelectronic package includes first and second encapsulated microelectronic elements each including: wherein the first and second microelectronic elements are affixed to one another by a bonding layer of dielectric material which extends between and contacts dielectric material at the confronting surfaces of the first and second microelectronic elements such that one of the front or back surfaces of one of the first and second semiconductor dies is oriented towards and adjacent to one of the front or back surfaces of the other of the first and second semiconductor dies and at least some conductive elements of at least one of the microelectronic elements are adjacent the bonding layer, the encapsulants of the first and second microelectronic elements defining first and second oppositely and outwardly facing surfaces, respectively, remote from the bonding layer; and a plurality of electrically conductive interconnects, each conductive interconnect extending through an opening having a continuous interior surface extending from the first outwardly facing surface through the encapsulant of the first microelectronic element, and through the bonding layer and the encapsulant of the second microelectronic element to the second outwardly facing surface, wherein at least one of the conductive interconnects is electrically coupled with at least one of the conductive elements at a location adjacent the bonding layer and thereby electrically connected with at least one semiconductor die of the first and second microelectronic elements; a second microelectronic package defining a first surface having terminals exposed thereon, a second surface having package contacts exposed thereon, the second microelectronic package further including a microelectronic element electrically coupled with the terminals and the package contacts; and a plurality of conductive joining elements electrically coupled with confronting ends of the conductive interconnects of the first microelectronic package and the terminals of the second microelectronic package, wherein a first conductive interconnect of the conductive interconnects joined with a first conductive joining element of the conductive joining elements is not electrically connected with either of the first or second microelectronic elements.
