Abstract:
1. A method for protecting conductive elements of a semiconductor device package, comprising: providing an assembly including: at least one semiconductor die; and at least one interposer positioned adjacent to an active surface of the at least one semiconductor die, at least one intermediate conductive element that electrically connects a bond pad of the at least one semiconductor die and a corresponding contact pad of the at least one interposer extending through at least one slot formed through the at least one interposer; forming at least one upwardly protruding dam at least partially around the at least one slot on a surface of the at least one interposer opposite from the at least one semiconductor die; and introducing an encapsulant into the at least one slot and over the at least one intermediate conductive element the at least one upwardly protruding dam at least partially laterally confining the encapsulant.
