Patent ID: 8445325

Claim:
A method of making a semiconductor device, comprising: providing a first semiconductor die having top, bottom, and peripheral side surfaces; providing a bond pad formed over the top surface; providing an organic material disposed around the peripheral side surface and extending from the top surface to the bottom surface of the first semiconductor die; after providing the organic material, forming a via through the organic material from the top surface to the bottom surface of the first semiconductor die; after forming the via, providing a conductive material deposited in the via to form a conductive through hole via (THV) extending from the top surface to the bottom surface of the first semiconductor die; providing a metal trace electrically connecting the conductive THV to the bond pad; providing a redistribution layer (RDL) having an interconnection pad disposed over the top surface of the first semiconductor die; mounting a second semiconductor die to the first semiconductor die; and depositing an encapsulant over the first and second semiconductor die to form a package-in-package (PiP) semiconductor device.
