Abstract:
A semiconductor device and method for providing an enhanced removal of heat from a semiconductor die within an integrated fan out package on package configuration is presented. In an embodiment a metal layer is formed on a backside of the semiconductor die, and the semiconductor die along and through vias are encapsulated. Portions of the metal layer are exposed and a thermal die is connected to remove heat from the semiconductor die.

Claim (Index 10):
A method comprising:\n forming a polymer layer over a carrier substrate; forming a through via structure over the polymer layer; placing a frontside of an IC device on the polymer layer; forming a mold that encapsulates the IC device and the through via structure; forming a redistribution layer over a first side of the mold, wherein the redistribution layer is physically coupled to the through via structure and the frontside of the IC device; removing the carrier substrate to expose the polymer layer; and patterning the exposed polymer layer to form a first opening that exposes the through via structure and a second opening that exposes a metal layer disposed over a backside of the IC device, wherein the metal layer is a portion of a thermal path for removing heat from the IC device.
