Patent ID: 7618846

Claim:
A method of making a semiconductor device, comprising: providing a semiconductor wafer having a plurality of semiconductor die; creating a gap between the semiconductor die to provide a peripheral region around the semiconductor die; depositing a first insulating material in the gap; forming a conductive via through the first insulating material in the gap; forming a conductive layer over the first insulating layer and semiconductor die, the conductive layer being electrically connected to the conductive via and a contact pad of the semiconductor die; depositing a second insulating layer over the first insulating layer, conductive layer, and semiconductor die; forming a profile in the first and second insulating layers in the peripheral region around the semiconductor die; forming an opening in the second insulating layer to expose the conductive layer; forming a shielding layer over the first and second insulating layers to isolate the semiconductor die from inter-device interference, the shielding layer conforming to the profile in the peripheral region around the semiconductor die and to the opening to electrically connect the shielding layer to the conductive via; and singulating the semiconductor wafer to separate the semiconductor die.
