Abstract:
1. A method comprising: forming (i) a first electrically conductive structure formed on an active surface of the semiconductor die and (ii) a second electrically conductive structure formed on the active surface of the semiconductor die, and wherein the first electrically conductive structure provides (i) a power connection for the semiconductor die, or (ii) a ground connection for the semiconductor die; attaching the semiconductor die to a substrate; forming a single molding compound disposed to substantially encapsulate both the substrate and the semiconductor die, including substantially encapsulating the active surface of the semiconductor die, wherein the molding compound has a channel formed in the molding compound; forming an opening in the molding compound, wherein the channel (i) extends from the active surface of the semiconductor die to the opening on the molding compound and (ii) at least partially includes the second electrically conductive structure formed on the active surface of the semiconductor die; attaching a passive component to the molding compound at least partly over the opening on the exterior surface of the molding compound; and electrically coupling the passive component to the active surface of the semiconductor die via the second electrically conductive structure through the channel in the molding compound.
