Abstract:
1. A method of making a semiconductor device, comprising: providing a carrier; mounting a semiconductor wafer including a plurality of semiconductor die to the carrier with an active surface of the plurality of semiconductor die facing away from the carrier; forming a plurality of bumps over the active surface of the plurality of semiconductor die; removing a portion of the semiconductor wafer to form an opening between the plurality of semiconductor die; depositing an encapsulant over the carrier and plurality of semiconductor die, in the opening, and around the plurality of bumps such that an exposed portion of the plurality of bumps is devoid of encapsulant; forming a via through the encapsulant, within the opening, and extending to the carrier; depositing a conductive material in the via to form a conductive via; forming a conductive layer over the encapsulant and electrically connected to the conductive via and the exposed portion of the plurality of bumps, the conductive layer having a thickness less than a height of the exposed portion of the plurality of bumps; and removing the carrier to expose an end of the conductive via.
