Abstract:
A method of forming contacts to an embedded semiconductor die includes embedding a semiconductor die in an encapsulation material, the semiconductor die having a first terminal at a first side of the semiconductor die, forming a first metal mask on a first surface of the encapsulation material, the first metal mask being positioned over the first side of the semiconductor die and exposing a first part of the encapsulation material aligned with the first terminal of the semiconductor die, directing a pressurized stream of liquid toward the first surface of the encapsulation material with the first metal mask, to remove the first exposed part of the encapsulation material and form a first contact opening to the first terminal of the semiconductor die, and forming an electrically conductive material in the first contact opening. Related semiconductor packages are also described.

Claim (Index 12):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein the first metal mask has an opening over a section of the encapsulation material which is laterally spaced apart from the semiconductor die, and wherein the pressurized stream of liquid directed toward the first surface of the encapsulation material etches at least partly through the section of the encapsulation material aligned with the opening in the first metal mask to form at least part of a via that extends from the first surface of the encapsulation material to a second surface of the encapsulation material opposite the first surface.
