Patent ID: 8143097

Claim:
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, comprising: mounting a semiconductor wafer to a temporary carrier; forming a plurality of through silicon vias (TSV) through the semiconductor wafer; forming a cavity partially through the semiconductor wafer; mounting a first semiconductor die to a second semiconductor die; mounting the first and second semiconductor die to the semiconductor wafer such that the first semiconductor die is disposed over the semiconductor wafer and electrically connected to the TSV and the second semiconductor die is disposed within the cavity; depositing an encapsulant over the semiconductor wafer and around the first and second semiconductor die; removing a portion of the encapsulant to expose a first surface of the first semiconductor die; removing a portion of the semiconductor wafer to expose the TSV and a first surface of the second semiconductor die, the remaining portion of the semiconductor wafer operating as a TSV interposer for the first and second semiconductor die; and forming a first interconnect structure over the TSV interposer.
