Abstract:
In accordance with a method embodiment includes providing a die having a contact pad on a top surface and forming a conductive protective layer over the die and covering the contact pad. A molding compound is formed over the die and the conductive protective layer. The conductive protective layer is exposed using a laser drilling process. A redistribution layer (RDL) is formed over the die. The RDL is electrically connected to the contact pad through the conductive protective layer.

Claim (Index 8):
A method comprising:\n forming a contact pad over a top surface of a substrate; forming a conductive protective layer over the contact pad by electroless plating the contact pad with one or more conductive materials; after forming the conductive protective layer over the contact pad, attaching a bottom surface of the substrate to a carrier; forming a molding compound over the carrier, the substrate and the conductive protective layer, the molding compound extending along sidewalls of the substrate; reducing a thickness of the molding compound; after reducing the thickness of the molding compound and while the bottom surface of the substrate is attached to the carrier, exposing the conductive protective layer by laser drilling; and forming a redistribution layer (RDL) over the substrate, the RDL being electrically connected to the contact pad through the conductive protective layer.
