Patent ID: 8754516

Claim:
A microelectronic package comprising: a first microelectronic device having an active surface, an opposing back surface, and at least one side, wherein the first microelectronic device includes at least one through-silicon via extending partially through the first microelectronic device from the first microelectronic device back surface to a first microelectronic device active portion; a second microelectronic device having an active surface, an opposing back surface, and at least one side; at least one interconnect electrically connecting and extending between and attached to the second microelectronic device active surface and the at least one first microelectronic device through-silicon via proximate the first microelectronic device back surface; and an encapsulation material adjacent the at least one first microelectronic device side and proximate the at least one second microelectronic device side, wherein the encapsulation material includes a back surface substantially planar to the second microelectronic device back surface.
