Abstract:
1. A device comprising: a first chip made of a first technology having a first contact pad, the first chip having a first passivation layer over a top surface of the first chip and the first contact pad, the first passivation layer having a bottom surface in contact with the top surface of the first chip and the first contact pad, and having a top surface opposite the bottom surface of the first passivation layer, wherein a first opening in the first passivation layer exposes the first contact pad; a second chip made of a second technology different from the first technology having a second contact pad, the second chip having a second passivation layer over a top surface of the second chip and the second contact pad, the second passivation layer having a bottom surface in contact with the top surface of the second chip and the second contact pad, and having a top surface opposite the bottom surface of the passivation layer, wherein a second opening in the second passivation layer exposes the second contact pad; a molding material encapsulating the first chip and the second chip, the molding material extending over the top surface of the first passivation layer and over the top surface of the second passivation layer; a first connection mounted on, and aligned directly over, the first contact pad; a second connection mounted on, and aligned directly over, the second contact pad; an insulating layer formed over the molding material and over the first and second connections, the insulating layer having openings exposing the first and second connections; and a post passivation interconnect (PPI) line on the insulating layer connected to the first contact pad by the first connection and connected to the second contact pad by the second connection; wherein the first connection is of a first connection mechanism type and the second connection is of a second connection mechanism type different from the first connection mechanism type, both connection mechanism types selected from a group consisting essentially of a conductive ball, a conductive via, or a conductive stud.
