Abstract:
A package includes a first dielectric layer, a device die over and attached to the first dielectric layer, an active through-via and a dummy through-via, and an encapsulating material encapsulating the device die, the active through-via, and the dummy through-via. The package further includes a second dielectric layer over and contacting the device die, the active through-via, and the dummy through-via. An active metal cap is over and contacting the second dielectric layer and electrically coupling to the active through-via. The active metal cap overlaps the active through-via. A dummy metal cap is over and contacting the second dielectric layer. The dummy metal cap overlaps the dummy through-via. The dummy metal cap is separated into a first portion and a second portion by a gap. A redistribution line passes through the gap between the first portion and the second portion of the dummy metal cap.

Claim (Index 9):
A method comprising:\n encapsulating a dummy through-via in an encapsulating material; forming a dummy metal cap overlapping the dummy through-via, wherein the dummy metal cap has a circular outer contour in a top view of the dummy metal cap, and wherein the dummy metal cap comprises:\n a first portion; and \n a second portion separated from the first portion by a gap; and \n forming a redistribution line in the gap, wherein the redistribution line is electrically decoupled from the dummy metal cap.
