Abstract:
1. A method for packaging microelectronic devices, the method comprising: coupling multiple microelectronic dies to a surface of a support member, the support member having at least one contact substantially co-planar with the surface of the support member, individual microelectronic dies each having an active side including at least one contact substantially co-planar with the active side, a backside, and at least one through-wafer interconnect, wherein the active side and the contact of the microelectronic dies abut the surface of the support member such that the substantially co-planar contact of the support member contacts the substantially co-planar contact of the active side; applying an encapsulant to cover at least a portion of the surface of the support member so that a portion of the encapsulant is laterally adjacent to the microelectronic dies; removing material from the backside of the microelectronic dies to expose a portion of the through-wafer interconnects; and constructing a redistribution structure on the backside of the microelectronic dies, wherein the redistribution structure has pads electrically coupled to the through-wafer interconnects.
