Abstract:
1. A method of packaging a first device having a first major surface (top) and a second major surface (bottom), comprising: forming a first layer over the second major surface of the first device and around sides of the first device and leaving the first major surface of the first device exposed, wherein the first layer is selected from the group consisting of an encapsulant and a polymer; forming a first dielectric layer over the first major surface of the first device; forming a via in the first dielectric layer; forming a seed layer within the via and over a portion of the first dielectric layer; obtaining a prefabricated connector; physically coupling the prefabricated connector having a contact portion to the seed layer; and plating a conductive material over the seed layer to form a first interconnect in the via and over a portion of the first dielectric layer and around a portion of the contact portion of the prefabricated connector.
